Flouting The Law, Some New Yorkers Won't Register Guns

[virginia mountainman]

1. They passed it, now they get to enforce it..

If they don't their credibility is in the tank, and now the initial anger over the law, has turned into contempt..

Let them pass MORE gun control, cause it too will be ignored. LOL I like how they call about 90% or so of gun owners, "non-compliance" as "SOME" gun owners..

Well done Governor!! WELL DONE!!

EDITED TO ADD MY OP FROM A WHILE BACK ON THIS VERY SUBJECT:

Well now they have done it...

With the push to "pass" gun control in the dead of night with the SAFE act, in New York, Cuomo finally admits that "they have no way of enforcing" part of the law, by suspending another chunk of the SAFE act, add that to the magazine capacity ban that the court tossed a while back.. The "back ground check ammunition sales" is suspended. For some reason they are not publicizing it. It, was basicly found to be "unworkable"... Imagine that.. emotion based legislation passed in the dead of night, found "unworkable"...LOL...

New York with it's SAFE act, has a very serious, completely self-induced problem on their hands. I have seen estimates in the press as low as 5% compliance with it's forced "registration" scheme of the evil assault rifles, and with only a very small portion of New York law enforcement in support of the gun ban provisions in the law, and most outspokenly dead set against it, enforcing the law will be problematic to say the very least. More people registered guns in the tiny State of Connecticut, than in the much larger, state of New York.

Now down to the largest problem they are facing, one that they think they can ignore, like it's a bad dream.

With such low compliance of the law by people that very well know the penalties, several very unfortunate dynamics are in play let me point them out;

The majority of those that refused to register, are convinced that it is their right to own the rifles, and that it is no one's business if they own them or not... It is simply, "their right".. You can argue semantics about til you're blue in face over whether it really is "their right" all you want, but what YOU think is immaterial, it is what they THINK, they are the one with the rifles.

Now to the Crux of the problem.. We now have several hundred THOUSAND people, that are openly defiant to New York law. They now treat the law with contempt. They care not about penalties, they care not, what additional gun control law passes, their is no need to fear when even their local law enforcement, and most NY state troopers agrees with their position.

In short, Cuomo has rammed thru a law in the middle of the night, that for the most part, only GUN CONTROL supporters are obeying..And now thousands of people are thumbing their noses at them, and daring him to make the next move..

Their is no way around that fact, people feel they have NO obligation to obey unjust laws, and so they won't. And Cuomo will now have to enforce the law....or won't he, if so, HOW?

How do you deal with massive amounts of citizens just giving the middle finger and ignoring the statehouse? You can't get the sheriffs to do it, most of them are in the crowd with their middle finger up as well.

Widespread open contempt for a new state law, what are YOU going to do about it Cuomo???
