My dad was a gun dealer and has always been carping about gun control.
My response has always been that when they get serious about taking away our guns, they will go after the ammunition.
The 2A doesn’t protect that.

Sure, New York could make it illegal to possess the ammo, but no way is that going to keep the ammo out. They’ll just create a new black market.

For a good long time, Massachusetts banned the sale of all new Colt 1911 *AND CLONES*.

RIGHT NOW, you can’t buy a new Glock handgun in MA.

Arguably the most popular semi-automatic pistol design and the most popular brand of semi-automatic pistol were not available for sale in the state of MA.

So, forgive me if I think it possible for the state of New York to ban the sale of 7.62X39mm ammo…

I had to clean my screen after I saw the bit about a semiautomatic round. And these morons pass the laws we all have to live with. I got another chuckle from the naive idea that you could ban what has to be the most common rifle round in the world. But, the credulous press just laps this up.

I want a “semiautomatic round” I be those are fun to shoot… I wonder if you put semiautomatic rounds in a semiautomatic gun, they add up to a full automatic?

Things like this are why I find reading the newspaper so annoying. Just about any time I read about something I know reasonably well, (guns, physics, mathematics, certain sports) I find tons of errors in it.

And there is no such thing as a semiautomatic assault rifle

There’s no such thing as a “semiautomatic round” either.
