5. Not here in New York...

they only sell "sporting" arms, like shotguns for trap shooting and birds, and rifles for deer and squirrels. The closest to an assault weapon here is a wood-stocked Ruger Mini-14, which has sat on the shelf for the last five years. Over the border in Pennsylvania, though, they did sell one or two models of what would be classified as an "Assault Weapon" under the old law.

BTW, they are not only the largest seller of firearms in the country, they also (with only a few exceptions) carry union-made, Made in the U.S.A. guns.
