Will New Yorkers surrender their weapons?
What if more than just a few New Yorkers decide they don't want to register their weapons, or hand them over, what then? SWAT team confiscation?

New York's population would drop by the thousands every day. The criminals would have a heyday.

A lot of them will register them even though they are against it, Why? Because they are law abiding citizens. Others will see it for what it is a step towards confiscation as Cuomo once stated, then backstepped.
Then there are others that are moving away. We are tired of fighting the hypocricy of politicians saying guns are hazardous to society, while surrounded by armed security. Like Bloomberg who has a detail of State Police guarding him and upon retiring from being mayor will hire these troopers who are going to retire so they can earn $300,000 a year and collect retirement from the State. Then his spokesmen who is getting a security detail from guess who yep the NY tax payer.
Yep going South to where freedom and the Constitution still mean something and the taxes are less than half!

In most places you already have to register the gun, and where people don't its illegal not to.
With eight million people just in the city, there are probably ten million weapons here, and I don't expect many of them to be turned in by anyone, nor would it make a difference, a short trip to Virginia and you could replace them faster than they would be collected.
Swat teams don't do confiscations, did I miss something on Fox today that scared you? I guess I did, there is an article about a 2010 law about rifles and shotguns that can hold more than five bullets at a time.
About five hundred letters went out that they were to be turned in, or have a licensed gunsmilth alter them. Or that they be removed from the city. Not all that many guns, and not all weapons, a mere five hundred of the millions here. I think we'll all manage.
But I do wonder how you sleep at night with all that fear that goes on.

I nope not although I find it odd and strange that they're wanting to take new yorkers gun rights away exactly 11 years after 9-11.
