The document starts off by acknowledging NY's draconian gun laws with the sole purpose of them being to discourage firearm ownership. Then in the next paragraph, they dually acknowledge this creates a black market...DUH!

I was not aware it was illegal to possess unregistered ammunition in NYC. I thought only DC had such a statute. Insane.

Didn't know this either! Apparently, you can take a 3-day vacation to NYC with an NYC-compliant long gun and be in the legal clear???

@avsterbone @gunpolicy There’s a fed court decision striking NY’s state stun gun ban in NDNY. I don’t know if the laws were Amended after that
