New York and California's gun laws look a lot like ours in Bulgaria. You can own a gun but registration is needed, and no NFA. I despise my country for agreeing on EU laws. Brussels laws made Europe a p*ssy land full of yuppies.

Constitutionally, no one who hasn't lost their rights by due process of law should be barred from obtaining and carrying firearms. So to answer your question, with a few tweeks, yes, New York should have gun laws similar to Florida.
Yes. Every state should have at least the following: 1. Constitutional carry. If you're legally allowed to own a firearm, you are legally allowed to carry. 2. National carry reciprocity. If all 50 states can accept each other's driver's licenses, even though each state has there own standard on how to obtain one, then they should receive each other's CCW permits. 3. Abolishing 10 round magazine limits and "assault weapons" bans. There is no science to back up such laws and they do nothing but put an unnecessary burden on law abiding citizens.
You won't take a stand. You name cities that you think are doing it right with gun laws and then I say lets make those laws national and you won't agree to it. It is obvious you do not know what Florida gun laws are
Florida has very few and limited firearm laws primarily because Floridians have a Constitutional right to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves. Article 1 section 8. SECTION 8. Right to bear arms.— (a) The right of the people to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves and of the lawful authority of the state shall not be infringed, except that the manner of bearing arms may be regulated by law. (b) There shall be a mandatory period of three days, excluding weekends and legal holidays, between the purchase and delivery at retail of any handgun. For the purposes of this section, “purchase” means the transfer of money or other valuable consideration to the retailer, and “handgun” means a firearm capable of being carried and used by one hand, such as a pistol or revolver. Holders of a concealed weapon permit as prescribed in Florida law shall not be subject to the provisions of this paragraph. (c) The legislature shall enact legislation implementing subsection (b) of this section, effective no later than December 31, 1991, which shall provide that anyone violating the provisions of subsection (b) shall be guilty of a felony. (d) This restriction shall not apply to a trade in of another handgun.
That already has happened in 26 other states and hopefully that will continue on to even more states. Florida's firearm laws, primarily concealed carry and reciprocity, have been used by NRA affiliates in those states to create model laws, which where in turn passed by those states. Thank you Marion Hammer for a job well done!
I don't support them, but that's the law in Florida and it only applies to handguns, not long guns. We did however carve out two ways around waiting periods, one is if the purchaser has a carry license they are exempted, and the other is the SNS trade-in. When I did training I always advised my students when they buy their first handgun, always buy a second handgun and make it the cheapest handgun the shop sells, ask the owner if he has a non-working handgun that can be bought twenty dollars or so.
The problem with the anti gun law types is that they want all of us to lose freedom and not merely a tiny number who could be found shooting at humans. The rest of us get the same treatment as the criminals. We are first found guilty. Backwards in law.
