New York Gun Owners Plan Defiance of Registration Law
Officials admit they expect "widespread violations," pushed the measure anyway
Assault-rifle owners statewide are organizing a mass boycott of Gov. Cuomo's new law mandating they register their weapons, daring officials to "come and take it away," The Post has learned.
Gun-range owners and gun-rights advocates are encouraging hundreds of thousands of owners to defy the law, saying it'd be the largest act of civil disobedience in state history.
"I've heard from hundreds of people that they're prepared to defy the law, and that number will be magnified by the thousands, by the tens of thousands, when the registration deadline comes,'' said Brian Olesen, president of the American Shooters Supply, one of the largest gun dealers in the state.
