The way I understand it, any mag owned prior to this ban which holds ten or less rounds will be legal to hold onto. If you take a legal to own 10 rounder and load it with more than 7 rounds, you're a felon.
Owning any mag holding more than 10 rounds will make you a felon (there is an exemption for C&R mags). 1 year to dispose of previously owned mags.... must go to dealer or out of state.
Registration of all assault rifles (assault rifle definition expanded to any semi-auto with detachable mag and 1 evil feature).
All gun sales (including to your neighbor across the fence) must have NICS check.
Assault rifle sales are banned. Existing, registered assault rifles can only be transferred to a NYS dealer (who can't sell it in NY) or out of state (presumably to have all assault rifles out of the state in a few generations... the confiscation will occur long before this happens).
I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, only my amateur interpretation of PROPOSED legislation. The text of the bill leaves certain matters unclear.
As of this posting, it is not law. It has passed the state senate (traditional burial ground of BS like this). The assembly, loaded with NYC democrats are VERY likely to pass it in a few hours and the governor is chomping at the bit to sign it.
This show may be playing soon in a theater near you! New York is so far gone, the Republicans literally rolled over. Better luck to you guys.
