Man Charged with Violating the New York Safe Act-3 Magazines over 10 rounds

[MILSURP Collector]

I got out by joining the Army and it was the best thing I ever did in life. I'll never go back to that ****hole.

Same here! Left in 1979 with a Mossberg 500 ATPS and a Ruger Mini-14. Had to get a firearms permit for those and bought them out on Long Island.

Probably could not do the same today. FORGET ABOUT a pistol.

Whether you agree with a law or not it doesn't matter in court. The decision to break a law is upon the person and they have to live with the consequences. Every person has to decide which hill they are willing to die on and that hill varies depending on how the consequences effects each individual. Personal choice.

No doubt. The only way to change this garbage is if will all personally choose to stand up to it together.

Does he have a patreon account yet ?

I'll be glad to send this Veteran a donation to fight liberalism and tyranny in new yakk !

Why does he or anybody live in that Butt Hole state in the first place.

Let's not encourage them to move. They leave the place they live because they hate what it is, or has become, and then they vote the same type of a$$hats into office in their new locale. Same with many of today's immigrants.

He violated Governor Cumo's Safe Act rammed through in an emergency session-post Sandy Hook.

The local news omits it's 7 years per magazine (21 years total).

Also they omit:

1). He is a military veteran, served nine years in the U.S. Army and participated in the 2003 invasion of Iraq
2). He was not drinking
3). When he asked the police to turn on their body cameras, they arrested him.
4). He subsequently worked as an armed private security contractor in Iraq and Afghanistan after his military service.
5). He was formerly licensed as an armed security guard in New York
6). He is the father of an eight-year-old with disabilities
7). He had no prior criminal record.
8). He had a New York license and permit to exercise his "right" to possess a handgun (in his home)-it was not in the vehicle

Will this be the case that challenges the "Safe Act" and possibly weights a measure of definition of just what a right "to not be infringed" is???

Or will it just be another criminal charged and protecting N.Y. one magazine at a time?

When I lived in New York, there was only one permit available (permit to carry concealed) and it was required to own a handgun. There was no right to just have a gun in the home.

Not always true. Most upstaters in NY are good conservative country folk. I would never vote for a liberal. Liberals have ruined NY and everyone knows it.

It's the same everywhere. The big cities destroy the livability of the entire state. Happening right here in good ole "safe" Georgia and isn't about to stop anytime soon.

Good observation and very true statement. Thanks.

Very surprised to read here the comments regarding "he knew the laws...blah blah blah...he deserves what he gets."

That's complete and utter bull****. We wouldn't even have a country if that attitude pervaded the colonies. If you see an unjust law you have no moral obligation to obey it. Fight it, ignore it, rail against it, or go meekly to your shower, your clothes will be returned to you when you come out.

Aside from the possible challenge that NY's anti-gun "SAFE" act violates the 2nd Amendment,
I think making it a FELONY to have standard-capacity magazines, common and ordinary ones that are normally used with your perfectly-legal firearms, should be unconstitutional under the 8th Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishments. That phrase doesn't just refer to torture, but it can apply to a penalty, even a prison term with eligibility for parole, that is grossly disproportionate to the crime committed. For a "malum prohibitum" crime like this, where the man would be perfectly legal if those mags were 10-rounders, but they held a few more rounds than that, I'd say any penalty that causes the loss of one's civil rights and triggers a potential incarceration period of more than 6 months would be "cruel and unusual."
