Editor's Note: The following information was provided by New York State Police:
In an effort to help the public, a website and hotline have been established to answer all questions about the New York SAFE Act.
The Governor’s Office has established http://www.nysafeact.com/.
On the website, gun owners and licensed dealers will find a list of frequently asked questions that have been compiled and answered by experts on this new law.
There is also a section on what is and is not considered an assault weapon. This includes photos of weapons, banned features, a list of some of the banned weapons, and those firearms that are NOT considered assault weapons.
The New York State Police have established a hotline 1-855-LAW-GUNS.
The hotline will be available starting Monday, January 21, 2013.
The hotline will run for normal business hours Monday through Friday and will be staffed by State Police members.
The Governor's office stated "Police officers possessing ammunition clip with more than seven bullets are not in violation of this law and they never will be, period," http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/01/18/ny-guv-looks-to-clarify-gun-law-after-concern-about-exemption-for-police/
And no I do not defend Democrats at every turn, I defend honesty and integrity and have no problem pointing out falsehoods regardless of political party. Truth matters. And if you think that makes me look stupid so be it, the opinion of someone who took another's moniker matters little to me.

Comparing guns that are specifically designed to kill living things with cars that are specifically designed to transport people and cargo safely is absurd and you know it.
another blanket statement that is completely nuts

Laws against bringing guns to schools; okay I can see concerns with this even though I could hunt before and after school and leave my shotgun in my locker or the principal's office without anyone worrying about me when I walked in. Stricter laws against harming first responders; Let's look at this and see how many people allow themselves to be taken alive after making this desperate attempt at whatever. The stricter laws are not a bad idea, just not very effective by the time someone is ready to do something like this. Lowering the magazine capacity; again no hunting preface was put into the constitution. Above and beyond all, GUNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM!!! There is many facets to this issue, but guns are not it. You sheeple need to wake up. I won't go into all the facets right now, but creating laws in the wake of suicidal actions is just beyond moronic. I have no words for how stupid this is.
