Gunmakers Alter Appearance Of AR-15 To Comply With New York's Gun Law
— Open Blogger

I'll admit, it's an ugly gun. However, I applaud their efforts to circumvent the stupid New York state SAFE ACT.



Prototypes for the newly designed AR-15 are hitting gun shops across New York, as gun shops and machinists have designed a rifle that complies with the anti-gun law. At least one gun shop has received a letter from state police saying that the new AR-15 style rifles should be legal in the state as long as they donÂ’t have some of the features that the law prohibits.
(...)
Features like adjustable stocks, pistols grips, and flash suppressors has been deemed to be unlawful on these rifles, mainly because it makes them LOOK mean. And we all know how little these anti-gun lawmakers really know about guns, as the “Ghost gun” video illustrated.

The new AR-15 design did away with the pistol grip which gives the gun an odd paintball gun look. The stock is fixed as well, but at least New Yorkers now have a legal way to own an AR-15, a fact which is still driving some gun control activists mad.

Oh and in case you missed it from this morning's news dump, be sure to check this video out. This guy makes a mockery of his City Council's plan to ban loaded guns in public places.

Posted by: Adam at February 10, 2014 11:05 AM (Aif/5)

8 Their not going far enough- All AR-15s should be pink with cute little bunny ears and a cute little cotton tail as a sighting mechanism. Also- Imagine World Peace should be written in powder blue on the stock. That should make them non-scary enough for libtards.

99 Punch line: what they've done is changed all the "looks scary! Assault rifle!" about the AR.  Except for the loss of the flash suppressor, the changes are primarily cosmetic - and THAT'S all it takes to make it perfectly legal in New York.

That ought to tell you something.

For the record, my Mosin-Nagant looks a lot less scary than the AR, except to people who know what a Mosin can do, and at how much longer range than an AR.

104 @78 Perhaps. But why not have both? I've never been a fan of over-carving on a stock or a receiver - it's not my cup of tea. But I do believe that function and form can and should harmonize when possible. I don't want to own an ugly gun. If it's the only option, I'll take it - in the same way I'll take a rock or a pointed stick, if that's all that's available. But do I have to? The P-51 is prettier than the FW-190, even if they both are superlative aircraft... most people will choose the Mustang. A Les Paul isn't particularly comfortable to play - but it plays great and it looks great... and that's why it outsells the SG. You are correct, but why should we have to choose? The AR-15 is hardly the finest weapon in the world. But it sure does look good, doesn't it? And it fires more than fine, for a varmint gun. When I can have both, I'll take it.

115 98 You really think the NFL will fight this, Brandon? I suspect the last thing Goodell wants is to entertain debates on why "redskin" is or is not offensive. He will rollover and show his belly. --- Depends on what he can get out of them. Goodell is an asshole and a bully when he thinks he can get his way, as any other Saints fan can tell you. If Cantwell tries to threaten him instead of trying to work with him, I think he'll give her the finger and start working on something else. Hell, maybe he gets Art Rooney, Obama's former ambassador to Ireland, to tell her where to stick it since he gives Obama more money than she does.

Here in my beloved Clownifornia, a pistol grip is defined in agonizing detail. Basically it comes down to the angle of the grip.

So the same piece of plastic mounted at one angle is legal, mounted at another angle, it's pearl-clutchingly evil and worthy of a long term in state pound-me-in-the-ass prison......but only if it's present at that angle with certain other pearl-clutchingly evil features.

119 "I would offer that functionality is not a detractor from its nature as art. But that's just how I see it."
I apologize if that seemed to be my point, I wasn't being clear. Guns are not art because they are tools. They can become artistically attractive in their design, but they aren't art.
Statues can be art because that's their purpose and reason for existence (caryatids and other column art sort of blurs the line).
But what art is and how people have confused beauty or attractiveness with art is a huge discussion all its own. Mostly I just wanted to say that being ugly doesn't matter in a tool.

187 "The right would do well to document the lifestyle of the lefty non-profit "charities" directors."
I agree. When the Soviet money dried up, these organizations kicked it into high gear scamming money out of the federal government.
Not all non profits are scams, some are genuine great organizations, but many, perhaps most of the biggest at least, are major rip off groups.
And many are violating the tax laws continuously, which would be a great place for the GOP to target. A big time congressional study, expose, and news push on the topic would be incredibly harmful to the left and put them seriously on the defensive. You can see how they react every time people start scrutinizing Planned Parenthood or PBS. They lose their momentum, get distracted from their other efforts and go wild on defense.
Its because they rely on federal money for losing propositions to survive. Conservatives never have success starting this trash up because they quit once the effort doesn't make money or break even. Leftists shrug at that, knowing they can suck at the federal teat to keep it going.
Cut those off at the knees and you cripple the left. But as blaster notes, these organizations are good at corrupting lawmakers by promises of jobs and donations, so nothing gets done.

CA leftists love to caterwaul about how stocks like this, and "bullet buttons" violate the intent of the legislature. I get an inordinate amount of pleasure from pointing out that if the CA legislature had REALLY wanted to ban AR15s, they would have written the law to ban AR15s, rather than leaving in a bunch of exceptions that allow people to own the squirrel rifle (even in neutered form).

221 What is it about a pistol grip that they find so threatening? It's a wedge issue in the gun world. That's it. "Hunters" are placated as long as their ox isn't being gored. Hunters don't generally go out with pistol-grip guns. So in the past, hunters didn't mind if you went after the guns they don't use. In fact, lots of them hate the "gear queers" and the "mall-ninjas" who like to put all kinds of fun things on their ARs. So the banners went after the guns they could, when they could. Notice how Piers Morgan goes after ARs when so many more people are killed with pistols. Even when he's confronted on this issue he waffles. It makes no sense if their goal is to stop violence. If their goal is to whittle down gun rights though, which guns are OK to go after among 2nd Amendment people?

Used to be that the pistol grip was one of the components Made in the USA, which counted towards the minimum parts for legal import. Eliminate that and you may have eliminated an entire range of models from import without specifying a ban.

The outcome of those activities can be determined by the use of a stopwatch, same as the 100-meter dash. Hence, sport.

Nothing about 99 employees.  Nope. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Bupkis.

Of all the sports you could have called not a sport, you call the biathlon not a sport? Of all the pure, straight out of the Olympics sports, they have a common strain. It's a warrior act, blunted to allow competition without death. Throwing events, wrestling, running, jumping, are all war-like activities. You combine (a hard physical activity) skiing with (a precise killing activity) shooting and that's about as close to the original Olympic intent as you can get in a modern activity.

His comments signal the EU's wish to safeguard economic ties with Egypt, despite Western misgivings about its political evolution since the army overthrew elected Islamist President Mohamed Mursi in July following mass protests against him.

Land a punch on the head? That's 2 points (or whatever). How artistically you did it never comes into the equation. And they have multiple (5?) judges because boxing matches can move fast, and you're going to get a slightly more accurate total by having multiple people watching.
