Brave New World

Two rounds.

Two rounds, that is, more than is legally allowed now in New York State.

If this guy had seven rounds instead of nine in his magazine, that burned out license plate bulb wouldn’t have burned him.

Don’t you just feel safer now?

Here’s the story, from the Washington Times:

New York man arrested for carting 2 extra bullets

A New York man has the dubious honor of being the first reported arrest for carrying two bullets too many in his otherwise legally authorized ammunition magazine — in violation of the state’s new gun control laws.

Troopers discovered the extra two bullets when they stopped him for a traffic offense: His license plate lamp wasn’t lit, a local newspaper covering New Lebanon, N.Y., reported.

During the course of speaking to the driver, Gregory Dean, 31, of Hopewell Junction, troopers saw a .40 caliber handgun on the front seat. It was registered and legal, but when troopers found its magazine was carrying nine bullets.

The recently passed Secure Ammunition and Firearms and Enforcement Act only allows for seven rounds per magazine…

Could this be you next? It could, if you carry an otherwise legal firearm in New York State with nine bullets in the magazine instead of just seven.

This is what New York State legislators think of as “reasonable”.
