BREAKING## New rules for gun shows in NYS

Theres little info out there about this whole thing as it just broke, but I have a bit more info on "tagging" the weapons which enter a show.

Apparently, tagging involves taking down serial numbers of weapons, assumingly by LEO's, to make sure background checks are performed at the shows.

I can't really see how that would work to gaurantee a check is performed. If John Doe brings his rifle to a gun show to perhaps trade or sell it, the serial number seems like a moot point unless the dealer that purchases said weapon is to perform a background check on themselves.

Moreover, how is the LEO who tagged the weapon initially going to know whether that weapon was sold or not? I guess theyd have to check everyone who comes in with a weapon twice...once upon entering, then again when leaving.

Having researched this a bit, it seems like a bit of overreach by law enforcement. If I own a weapon, why should I let some jack boot take down the serial number? Who gets this info? How long is the info kept?

Furthermore...it seems like if they are gonna take down serial numbers, they'll be asking for your ID as well because if they are looking for prosecutions...which they are....they'll need a name to blame.

Anyone know of how this works? Perhaps this has been in use in other states and I'd love to know what to expect.

On a side note...the government is awfully stupid. In case they haven't been payin attention, us "old white guys" have been buying guns in record numbers for the last 5 years. Kinda late for this dontcha think?

All thats left is to sit back and wait....

Looks like this is my last thread here at GLP. This is like the fifth thread of important breaking news that has zero replies. Yet, fucking imbiciles who post absolute bullshit threads have pages of replies.

Pfft, most of you muhfuckas ARE the exact sheep you whine about on a daily basis. Fuck, you even have the owner of the site posting nonsense about how his "source" said this conflict in the ME was "it". That was two weeks ago Trinity....ya fuckin worthless pile, and all i see is a cease fire. I know...just wait, its comin huh?

Thank God theres ligitimate alternative news sites that don't blur the lines between fantasy and news like this craphole of a site. Can't quite imagine why anyone would donate to a site thats obviously on a downward spiral into losing what little credibility it once had.

I know...none of you give a crap lol, but I assure you, I give a crap less as wasting my time competing with "I am Jesus" threads has lost its lustre.

Now Im off to get some real alternative news from the two sites that actually get links in the mainstream media. Won't ever see a link to this pathetic site anywhere that ever matters. Unless its to further tptb agenda by pointing out just how stupid some people actually are.

Its at the point where this forum has become detrimental to the overall causes you seemingly deem important. If I knew nothing about say 9\11 and got a link to a thread from Google to GLP, I would take nothing anyone says here seriously because that thread would be sammiched between "I am Elvis, ask me a question" and "Obama is a Reptilian".

Its not like theres not weird fucks that'll post that nonsense anywhere, its the fact the users themselves promote such stupid shit by replying to these threads hundreds of times.

How could you possibly think anybody could take anything here seriously just solidifies that its past the point of no return.

Matter of fact, and I wont post exact numbers, but the traffic to this site has slowed every single month to a fraction of what it once was...before Trinity got ahold of GLP and flushed it down the crapper.

End rant/

I heard that on the news last night also. This won't have any effect on crime. Just makes the liberal gun grabbers warm and fuzzy.

Sounds like Socialism OP!
