Silver: Gun Magazine Bullet Limit to be Suspended



ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - A key element of New York's gun control law appears as if it will have to depend a great deal on the honor system.

Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver says New York will suspend the April 15 effective date to ban the sale of magazines holding more than 7 bullets. That's because 7-bullet magazines aren't made.

Silver also says manufacturers have made it clear they will never make 7-bullet magazines that would conform to the law.

The law will still require New Yorkers to put no more than seven rounds in a 10-bullet magazine, or face up to a misdemeanor if they are caught. There's an exception for use at shooting ranges and in competitions.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and legislative leaders have agreed to other technical fixes in the law.

Cross my heart & hope Shelly & Andy catch the Clap
Sure I am going to load only 7..... I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn too. What planet are these fools from anyhow? There are only a couple of things that an exact 7 round magazine are made for. The 1911 Colt .45 is one. Some Marlin .22 rifles alsohave a 7 round magazine.

I smell a ful repeal
All of this backtracking only signals the dems are worried about 2014 and they should be! With a 19 rnd mag i am going to load all i can because if it,s good enough for law enforcement it,s good enough for me! Besides never leave home without enough ammo, its kinda like cash you never know when you are gonna need it and how much you are gonna need!!!!!!

Admitting they're wrong
Agreeing so quickly to "technical fixes" in the law so quickly after passing is screams one thing... "We Know It's Wrong!" If you truly believed in the law your wrote you wouldn't be so quick to make changes to it. How is it we keep electing people who feel you need to pass a bill in order to read it to find out what's inside? How does a broke state in a broke county write in the "fine print" a 12-Seat LUXURY box at the remodeled Bill's Stadium? We have no money, but we have box seats! We will face this again next year when Cuomo's "Middle Class Rebate" will cut a $450 check to all middle class families in NYS who have at least 1 child in 2013, but the checks won't be handed out until just before election in 2014! NICE
