New York’s recent SAFE Act legislation (see the full text) immediately prohibited the sale of what misguided politicians call “assault weapons” and any magazine that holds more than seven cartridges effective January 14, 2013. Sales within New York were immediately halted and are now forever forbidden unless there is an unlikely repeal or successful legal challenge. This means that if you live in New York state and wanted to get a PTR91, AR15, WASR, Saiga, or a standard capacity magazine for any of the same – it is too late. You can not EVER legally buy one in New York – EVER - even from a private citizen within state lines.
