Various laws in New York ban firearms upon what amounts to appearance. From the NationalReviewOnline:

Pass a stupid law, get a stupid result. This, Clash Daily reports, is a remodeled AR-15, and it is legal in New York despite the state’s “assault weapons” ban. (see above)
Now, from the ClashDaily.com:
HISSY FIT: The New AR-15 Design is Compliant with “SAFE Act” and Has Gun Control Activists Pouting
by Jonathan S., Guns-n-Freedom
Prototypes for the newly designed AR-15 are hitting gun shops across New York, as gun shops and machinists have designed a rifle that complies with the anti-gun law. At least one gun shop has received a letter from state police saying that the new AR-15 style rifles should be legal in the state as long as they don’t have some of the features that the law prohibits.
The new gun law bans all kinds of semi-automatic rifles that have been labeled with the “assault” term even though these are very common rifles and are no more powerful than the average hunting rifle.
Once again, proving that Leftists predicate all their actions but upon emotions. “Assault rifles” look mean — they look “bullying.”
A mind is a terrible thing to waste, is it not?

So my .357 revolver doesn’t look deadly? We all know a scary looking gun in a sane, safety conscious person’s hands is ok and a safe looking gun in a crazy person’s hands is not. I think certain cars should be banned because they look scary and deadly, don’t you?
Of course they should.
Hey, I know! Let’s make laws to eliminate scaaaaaary looking guns, eh?

Building my own AR in Mexifornia required due diligence. All’s I can say is thank God for the ‘bullet button.’
Each of these states (New York and California, along with Connecticut and others), are writing inane laws based in fear by fear mongers, and directly attacks our 2nd amendment rights.
Just biding my time until I can relocate to AZ.
A variant of “Irish Democracy”?
From USA Today:
In his excellent book, Two Cheers For Anarchism, Professor James Scott writes:
“One need not have an actual conspiracy to achieve the practical effects of a conspiracy. More regimes have been brought, piecemeal, to their knees by what was once called ‘Irish Democracy,’ the silent, dogged resistance, withdrawal, and truculence of millions of ordinary people, than by revolutionary vanguards or rioting mobs.”
A very nice suggestion, sir. Thank you kindly.
