“Since New York’s SAFE Act gun control law went into effect in January 2013, a total of 23,847 people have applied to register their newly defined assault-style weapons with the State Police,” timesunion.com reports “Those individuals have registered a total of 44,485 weapons.” As suspected, the long-delayed release of the numbers indicates an enormous display of “Irish democracy.” In other words, most New York AR-style title owners failed to comply with the SAFE Act mandate. How many? Well . . .

While there is no firm count, observers have estimated there could have been hundreds of thousands or even a million assault-style weapons in New York when the law passed.

In Connecticut, which passed a similar registration law after New York’s action, 50,016 weapons have been registered.

New York’s population five times that of the Nutmeg State, far fewer weapons per capita have been registered in New York — suggesting widespread noncompliance.

Additionally, local police, including several county sheriffs, have opposed parts of the SAFE Act and suggested that enforcement of the registration component was not a priority.

The stage is set for gun confiscation- possibly in response to some fresh AR-based atrocity. Or is it? Watch this space.
