Accidentally redpilled my gf on gun laws in NYC

She lives in the NYC area, and she was so excited to get some guns one day. This was after she came back from some super gun friendly areas. Turns out being exposed to guns makes you much less scared of them, and 99% of the reason NYers dont have them, is because they never had any experience with them.

Then I showed her the mountain of paperwork she needs to have just to be able to attempt to possess a gun, and she was left in awe. This didn't even cover the other pile of paperwork to buy the damn gun, just to hold/carry/own a firearm, the most basic. It's such a long and extreme process, i looked at it and said nope, not happening. It would take 1.5 years or more, with zero guarantee just to get the permits. Per NYC:

After you purchase your gun, you have 72 hours to return to the License Division to have the gun inspected. This 72 hours includes weekends as well, so don’t delay. Make sure the firearm is unloaded with the trigger locked and in a locked case.

You can buy a new pistol, revolver, or handgun every 90 days.[11] To purchase another gun, you must complete a Purchase Authorization Request Form and submit it to the License Division. They will then send you a Purchase Authorization form, which you take to the FFL dealer. It generally takes about 45-60 days to get approval.

If you have a handgun license, you can request that your personal information not be made publicly available by completing an FOIL exemption form.


It's amazing how cognitive dissonance work when seen in person, especially after the mexican who shot up manhattan, or the high crimes. But a citizen having a gun is verboten! The thing is criminals still have guns, so all this crap is just a massive tax grab on citizens, its meant to dissuade as many people from having guns and fleecing as much money as possible from them when they try.

It would 1.5 weeks to move the fuck out of that shithole and into the country where you could walk into a store and out the same day with a gun.

Same day? Last time I was in a gun store, it was only for about twenty minutes, and I walked out with three guns. No purchase limits or wait times in my state, and perks of having a CCL (even in states with Constitutional Carry)- they act as an instant background check. All you do is slap your ID and CCL onto the counter, fill out the 4473, grab some other miscleneous bullshit to buy, and walk out with an armful of guns and ammo.

Ain't it great?

I enjoy making my own guns, being a DIY type. The local gun store has all sorts of odds and ends to help with that too, so I'm not the only one around here doing that.

Haha, no, no you're not the only one doing that. O/

I do not support new Yorkers owning guns. You get what you deserve for living there

Yet, highly illegal.
Imagine a time when elites were actually held accountable to laws.

Probably a time know as the golden age.

It's extremely weird line of thinking to me: why in the hell would one trust the very government looking to exterminate them? Even if you don't like guns, there is never a reason to trust the government will actually protect you. In NYC's case the government lies, connives, cheats, steals, tried genociding people with covid shots, destroyed any right to association, and on top of this charges you a fortune to be a slave. Because being a slave isn't good enough, you have to pay for the privilege of being treated like a criminal piece of shit

Did you ask her: "And now please tell me, how to criminals get all those guns so easy, I mean you see all those laws here....."

Every time shit starts to get a little turbulent you have some idiot liberals, get scared, suddenly decide that "their" life is important and they start showing up at the gun shops wanting to buy a gun, "Right now!", because they believe it when the media tells them it's easy.

Then they get their eyes opened to what all of that "common sense gun control" shit they've been supporting really means to them personally, and that the conspiracy yahoos were right all along.
