New York State Police: “Register You Guns – Pretty Please With Sugar On Top?”

While the deadline for gun owners to renew their permits was Wednesday at midnight, New York State Police officials said they will continue to collect admissions.
The New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act, otherwise known as the SAFE Act, makes people recertify their pistol permits every five years to keep track of them throughout the state.
Not only will state police allow recertifcations to be submitted past the deadline, the Public Information Director, Beau Duffy, said there also won’t be penalties on those who fail to do so.
Do I sense some good ole’ civil disobedience going on here? Good. “Sorry officer, I sold that thing a long time ago and lost the receipt when we did spring cleaning.”
Although I do recall New York abstaining from the vote to separate from King George.

Appears that the NYSP hasn’t received the level of response they were anticipating so they’re extending a carrot to the serfs. It will be interesting to see how this eventually plays out.

The State is beginning to find out that ‘registration’ is the Red Line.
Unfortunately,they will be Too Stupid to figure this out until Rule 308 goes in effect…

Looks like they’re learning that no response is a FU response.

They may OR MAY NOT actually turn a blind eye to anyone registering after the fact. But sooner or later they will decide to start crucifying
people for failure to register. They won’t go ‘door to door’ to round up
scofflaws….that’s too dangerous. But ANYONE who gets caught up in
the system for ANY reason found to have an unregistered firearm WILL
BE MADE AN EXAMPLE OF. Count on it.
