NY laws

Firearm or air gun makes no difference. Any city, county, or state can regulate air guns as they choose.

A legal definition is a statist construct. It is not a fact nor a truth. So drumie was correct, an airgun ISN’T a firearm.

I literally agree with you.

But we live in a statist paradigm and the state has the monopoly on violence. For better or worse, retailers and manufactures (and consumers) will abide by their edicts about what is and isn't a firearm.

An AR lower receiver isn't a firearm either, but everyone treats it as one, therefore, in some sense it is a firearm.

Just trying to answer the OPs question. I don't agree with the law, the regulatory definition or anything else that comes with that.

Only because stupid people keep voting (even if they’re dead) for government idiots to dictate their freedoms TO them. These are wretched times we lives in.
