Frequently Asked Questions

What are the magazine capacity restrictions in New York?

New York has implemented strict magazine capacity laws. Initially, there were limits on 10-round magazines, which were then attempted to be reduced to seven. Currently, for rifles, there's a five-round magazine limit, significantly impacting firearm usability for law-abiding citizens.

What was the 'Fast and Furious' scandal?

The 'Fast and Furious' scandal involved the ATF allowing thousands of firearms to be trafficked into Mexico, often to track cartel activity. This operation led to many guns falling into the wrong hands and was later exposed through investigative reporting.

How do law enforcement officers view magazine capacity limits for citizens?

Many law enforcement officers understand and empathize with the need for citizens to have adequate firearm capacity for self-defense. They recognize that officers themselves carry firearms with higher capacities and acknowledge the importance of preparedness in dangerous situations.

What is the 'Guns Across the Border' project?

The 'Guns Across the Border' project is a documentary being developed based on the experiences of Mike Daddy, an FFL holder in Arizona who reported gun trafficking. The project aims to shed light on the complexities and dangers of illegal firearm movements.
