Only the first part works, the second and third are backwards and totally ignore that certain states have laws regarding that stuff in place because it deters issues. Like NYC having such strict laws on the books.


NYC is an example of a city that has restricted the Second Amendment far, far too excessively. New York State as a whole has done this, actually. They could use some of these proposals.

Also, if it's just more gun control and no concessions given to gun rights advocates, then it's not a compromise.

What laws or requirements causes gun control to be too excessive? What's an example of a state and it's laws that causes gun control to be too lax?


In the US, no state has gun control that is too lax. However, I would admit that I would prefer for people to have better training because there are some dumbasses out there.

As for New York, here are some of the ridiculous gun control laws I am talking about:

- 10 round magazine maximum (was originally 7 but that was struck down for being BS)

- Ban on semi-automatic rifles, semi-automatic pistols (handguns), and semi-automatic shotguns with one or more "military-style features, such as a telescoping stock, bayonet mount, flash suppressor, grenade launcher, threaded barrel, muzzle compensator; thumbhole stock, or foregrip.

- Making it extremely difficult to get concealed carry in NYC if you aren't rich or connected

- Also lots of political BS like this:

The state of New York is of particular concern to interstate motorists who travel with firearms because it separates all six New England states from the rest of the United States. This means that under the Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA), all people traveling through the state with firearms are protected by federal law, however they must have their firearms unloaded and locked in a hard case where they are not readily accessible (e.g. in the trunk of a vehicle).[36]

Even with federal protections for those who properly secure their firearms and ammunition while transiting through New York, some police agencies in New York (notably the New York State Police and the New York Police Department) do not recognize the federal Firearm Owners Protection Act, and may still detain or arrest travelers, and place such travelers in a situation where they have to reference FOPA as an affirmative defense to criminal charges in court proceedings.
