Missouri gun company to sell 'New York-compliant' AR-15 rifle

[The Legion]

A Missouri gun manufacturer says it plans to release a "New York Compliant" AR-15 rifle in response to tough gun control measure passed by New York lawmakers last year banning the sale of assault weapons in the state.  

The company, Black Rain Ordnance, said the rifle would eliminate features that were made illegal under the SAFE Act. The gun will not have a pistol grip and will include a non-threaded muzzle and a 10-round low-capacity approved magazine.

Swap out the magazine and the stock (neither controlled items in most states) and you have a regular stock BRO-PG. I don't really believe that will get past the notice of the New York officials. A complete redesign (Modifiable-resistant) might fly but this is just an AR-15 with easily obtained add-ons needed for back-modification. The answer isn't to try to circumvent the law, it is to repeal the law!

That law should be broken, ignored, circumvented, and repealed.

Meh. I'd be more impressed with Black Rain Ordnance if they refused to sell any type or AR in NY.

And for all ny based gun and gun related mfg-ers to move to Tennessee. I wonder if ny would try to pass laws making it illegal to move out or to impose "exit fines" for companies wanting to leave since it wouldn't be fair for them to lose the tax revevues they're entitled to

I would not be at all surprised at a move of that sort. I guess it would depend on what sort of concessions might have been made with the respective city and/or state governments in the past.
