Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main concerns regarding proposed gun legislation in New York?

New York is considering bills that would restrict firearm functionality, such as mandating heavy trigger pulls and altering grip designs to prevent child operation. Additionally, a proposed insurance bill would require gun owners to carry a $1 million liability policy, which is seen as a de facto ban on ownership.

How does the media often misrepresent semi-automatic firearms?

The media frequently portrays semi-automatic firearms as machine guns, a tactic used for decades to sway public opinion and support gun control measures. This often involves showing footage of full-auto fire when discussing semi-automatic weapons, creating a false impression of their capabilities.

What is the Mossberg Shockwave and how is it classified?

The Mossberg Shockwave is classified by the ATF as a firearm, not a shotgun, due to its 14-inch barrel and short grip. It meets the federal 26-inch overall length requirement, making it a legal firearm to own.

What is the significance of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association (NYSRPA)?

The NYSRPA is a key organization fighting against restrictive gun legislation in New York. They actively work to oppose bills that would infringe upon the rights of gun owners and advocate for the Second Amendment.
