Because they won't want to get involved in a confrontation with the gun nuts looking to water the tree of liberty.

Confrontation is exactly what a good number of the gun weirdos will want.

Then they lose against the far better equipped state and the issue is settled.

Win-win.

Why pass legislation just NOT to enforce it?

Oh they will - I just think it will be a slow turn of the screw given the circumstances involved. First stop will be the gun shop.

Well... I guess... kinda. More like feel-good, superficial, window dressing IMO.

Under current state law, assault weapons are defined by having two "military rifle" features. The proposal would reduce that to one feature and include the popular pistol grip.

Private sales of assault weapons to someone other than an immediate family would be subject to a background check through a dealer. Also Internet sales of assault weapons would be banned, and failing to safely store a weapon could be subject to a misdemeanor charge.

Ammunition magazines would be restricted to seven bullets, from the current 10, and current owners of higher-capacity magazines would have a year to sell them out of state. An owner caught at home with eight or more bullets in a magazine could face a misdemeanor charge.

In another provision, a therapist who believes a mental health patient made a credible threat to use a gun illegally would be required to report it to a mental health director who would have to notify the state. A patient's gun could be taken from him or her.

The legislation also increases sentences for gun crimes including the shooting of a first responder that Cuomo called the "Webster provision." Last month in the western New York town of Webster, two firefighters were killed after responding to a fire set by the shooter, who eventually killed himself.

The governor confirmed the proposal, previously worked out in closed session, also would mandate a police registry of assault weapons, grandfathering in assault weapons already in private hands.

There are two parts of the law that are not thought thru. One is the requirement for the citizens to engage in interstate commerce by requiring them to sell the magazines out of state. Clearly the State on NY  will not prevail on that requirement. The other is to turn in the magazines that citizens own after a year. This is clearly a taking and the citizens are due just compensation.

Personally I don't give a damn about AR15's, UZI's, etc. I was surprised when I saw them in Sporting Goods stores in the 70's. I agree no one needs one but then no one needs a Ferrari either. What I dislike is legislatures who don't seem to realize a constitution exists.

BTW, any rule passed for the citizenry also applies to the police. Are they replacing all the clips on the Glocks?

I would not be surprised to see many gun companies refuse to do business with New York.  I'll be very interested to see if the Remington plant moves out of state.

Your premise isn't wholly correct though.  I'm a cop in DC.  We have 30 round magazines for our AR-15's which are illegal for private citizens to own.  Heck, Chicago and DC essentially had complete handgun bans for many years.

It definitely had overwhelming support in the Senate and Assembly. It was also ramrodded through. There are some positive elements of the legislation and there is much that defies common sense.
The compliance enforcement will be interesting to see. I do foresee a lot of unintended consequences arising out of this legislation. It is likely to be an incredible mess.
Requiring those with pistol permits to reapply every 5 years will discourage many from having a pistol permit. The permit process is quite extensive. There will be a lot less legal guns in NY and likely a lot more illegal guns. The sale of hand guns will reduce greatly. The sale of shotguns for home defense purposes will sky rocket.
I can't help but think that Andrew Cuomo is laying the ground work for a Presidential run in 2016.
You can't get any higher profile than this legislation.

So what exactly will you not be able to do legally now that you were able to do before.

You can protect your home.
You can get a handgun with a little effort.
You can go hunting.
You can target shoot.

You'll be slightly less able to carry out an armed insurrection against your democratically elected government or fight off hundreds of zombies... I mean meth heads looking to rape your girlfriend and shoot you, or indeed rape you and shoot your girlfriend.

You'll also perhaps struggle to shoot all two dozen members of the Mexican drug cartel you get into a firefight with perhaps?

What pisses me off more than anything is the method the State used to pass the legislation:

Closed-door meeting in the middle of the night (literally). Declare an "emergency" to prevent public hearings and committee meetings. Then, don't even observe the constitutionally prescribed three-day waiting period for the law to take effect.

NYS government... leading by example.

Partisans seem always willing to compromise the constitution if something is being accomplished that they agree with. The gun nuts want the millions of American gun owners to have restrictions placed upon them so badly they are willing to do it extra constitutionally.

I do think the unintended consequences of this legislation will be significant. The number of illegal guns that will hit the streets of New York States inner cities and the inner cities of our neighboring states will likely be unprecedented.
Gun shows in our neighboring states will have attendance and inventory like never before.

It is no longer just paranoia. New York is incrementally criminalizing the private ownership of guns. Under the guise of public safety, they are feeding upon fear and anti-gun hysteria to demonize guns, the NRA, individuals that chose to own guns, and ultimately… private gun ownership. Due to demographic changes, and the further marginalization of middle America, it is only a matter of time until this trend is fully realized on a national level (I think that it is inevitable). If this progress is to be slowed, it is going to require that a large number of individuals that are currently politically apathetic (beyond the gun nut organizations) to become more involved in the political process.

New York is incrementally criminalizing the private ownership of guns - absolute BS Mark. They can not do that thanks to the Supreme Court. What they can do is apply reasonable restrictions, the extent of which will remain in place will likely be tested by the supreme court in good time.

Enough with the hysterical panic on this one - there is no coming dictatorship and agenda to take all the precious away.
