Gunmakers Alter Appearance Of AR-15 To Comply With New York's Gun Law

I'll admit, it's an ugly gun. However, I applaud their efforts to circumvent the stupid New York state SAFE ACT.

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.
(...) Features like adjustable stocks, pistols grips, and flash suppressors has been deemed to be unlawful on these rifles, mainly because it makes them LOOK mean. And we all know how little these anti-gun lawmakers really know about guns, as the “Ghost gun” video illustrated.

The new AR-15 design did away with the pistol grip which gives the gun an odd paintball gun look. The stock is fixed as well, but at least New Yorkers now have a legal way to own an AR-15, a fact which is still driving some gun control activists mad.

Oh and in case you missed it from this morning's news dump, be sure to check this video out. This guy makes a mockery of his City Council's plan to ban loaded guns in public places.
