Basically it's a cute catch 22. The police have the right to declare what constitutes an assault weapon, and if you don't have it registered with them prior to April 1, you can't register it, you can't have it. But they can declare what is or isn't at any time. The police have yet to publish a list because they're not required to, because it's not a law yet. If that's accurate, interesting repercussions, especially places upstate where going hunting is a regular thing. One of my family members is a very avid, lifelong hunter, who before this proposed law, legally possessed numerous firearms. - JD ------------------------------------------- Archives: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: http://v2.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
