So it begins...

An arsenal of more than 300 guns, many of them illegal, has been seized from a Long Island home around the corner from a high school, and the homeowner was arrested, authorities said Thursday.

Jay Steiner, 66, was arrested in late January after an undercover Suffolk police officer visited his Centereach home.

Steiner has been charged with criminal possession of a weapon and is free on bail.

"Wow!" said one surprised neighbor. "That's a lot of guns. It's scary." :rolleyes:

Police were acting on a tip from a gun owner who had taken his weapon to Steiner, said Suffolk District Attorney Thomas Spota.

"The guns were stored all throughout the house," said Spota, as he stood in front of a table filled with the seized weapons.

In all, 85 illegal handguns and 230 rifles and shotguns were found, as well as thousands of rounds of ammunition.

"He had more firepower than the detectives who arrested him," said Spota.

Investigators said Steiner had once held a federal gun license, permitting him to buy and sell weapons, but it expired in 2004.

Steiner maintained a business card, prosecutors said, displaying that expired license number.

Several calls to Steiner's lawyer, William Eppig of West Islip, were not returned.

It's unclear what the Centereach man was doing with all the guns.

The guns are being examined to determine whether any have been stolen or used in crimes.

Steiner had no pistol license for any of the handguns, according to Spota.

Edit: This happened in January but was reported today. Too bad the snitch couldn't wait a little longer he could have made $500.

Cuomo’s 7-Bullet Limit to Be Suspended Indefinitely, Skelos Says
By Freeman Klopott - Mar 24, 2013 8:30 PM ET

Governor Andrew Cuomo’s seven-round limit on magazines sold in New York will be suspended “indefinitely” by a measure in his $136.5 billion budget set to be passed this week, Dean Skelos, a Senate majority leader said.

The ban on magazines holding more than seven bullets was set to start April 15. Cuomo has said the law needs to be rolled back because manufacturers don’t make seven-round holders. The measure was a center piece to a gun law the 55-year-old Democratic governor pushed through the legislature in January, making New York the first state to respond with tougher gun regulations to the Newtown, Connecticut school massacre.

Wonder why he picked "7", anyway...:munchin

Because it was less than ten. After this all settles down and there is another shooting, it will become five. I mean like how many rounds do you need to kill Bambi?

"7 round holders" uh huh.

Does this qualify as an "Infringement?" This is a case of zealots (commies) trying to out do New York and have the top position on the manifesto. Commiecticut is a small state and may not get the attention of Colorado but it is in the "cradle of communisim." The framers are rolling over in their graves. I hope Colt and Stag pull out but Colt is so far up the govt's ass with it's contracts I doubt they will move.

Maybe some consumer pressure is in order...

In Texas?!?
:eek:

First 40 seconds of the video.

Because he knows nothing about weapons, and was too lazy to ask his personal bodyguards? ;)

No. It's to force manufacturers to re-tool at a higher capital expenditure.

COLORADO CBI DENIED MY TRANSFER
 

I was just down at the tanner gun show, and was trying to do a trade of one of my pistols for another pistol that a FFL dealer had. Long story short my background check failed. LOL

Now I have to send in the appeal form.

I had two forms of ID and my military orders with me, my record is clean as far as I know. ( I just bought a pistol 4 months ago and another ruger 10/22)

If they keep this up I wont be retiring in this state. :munchin

More on the national side of the legislative agenda than the state side but interesting and timely, nonetheless. Some thoughts and observations on the subject of the proposed Manchin-Toomey amendment at link below - by someone well versed in the gun control arena

The “Pro-Gun” Provisions of Manchin-Toomey are Actually a Bonanza of Gun Control

David Kopel • April 15, 2013 2:20 am

The Toomey-Manchin Amendment which may be offered as soon as Tuesday to Senator Reid’s gun control bill are billed as a “compromise” which contain a variety of provisions for gun control, and other provisions to enhance gun rights. Some of the latter, however, are not what they seem. They are badly miswritten, and are in fact major advancements for gun control. In particular:

1. The provision which claims to outlaw national gun registration in fact authorizes a national gun registry.

2. The provision which is supposed to strengthen existing federal law protecting the interstate transportation of personal firearms in fact cripples that protection.
