    There is 1 very good reason. If the government knows you have it, then they have the means to confiscate. This story has been told dozens of times throughout history. Including in the US.

    I was trying to be amicable but you’re just wrong on this one.

        Have a Google at the NY SAFE Act. Or don’t and remain ignorant. Your call.

          NY SAFE Act.

          Which part of this has the gun confiscation bits in it? I read the whole thing on wikipedia and i must have missed it.

            https://legislation.nysenate.gov/pdf/bills/2013/S2230

            I think he’s referring to the bit starting on pg 2 regarding mandatory surrender.

            “…temporary order of protection is issued, suspend any such existing license possessed by the respondent, order the respondent ineligible for such a license, and order the immediate surrender PURSUANT TO SUBPARAGRAPH (F) OF PARAGRAPH ONE OF SUBDIVISION A OF SECTION 265.20 AND SUBDIVISION SIX OF SECTION 400.05 OF THE PENAL LAW, of any or all firearms owned or possessed…”

              thetruthaboutguns.com is not a source. I read the law. Try again.

          I can’t even find the word confiscation. Can you explain that to me?

                My dude, ignore the source of the article and look at the document from the NY police department. If you ask for evidence and I provide proof and you wilfully neglect it, there’s nothing I can do to help you. That’s called wilfull ignorance.

                  My dude, read the law and think for yourself. It’s not long. You’ve provided no evidence outside an extremely biased news source while I read the whole law. It’s not long.

                  READ IT and stop crying

                    Wilfull ignorance it is then, I suppose.
