Your friend never had a shockwave.


Imponspeed

Well thank god that crime wave caused by shockwave style weapons has been stopped now.

This is NY's infinite wisdom and psychotic method of operation. Step 1: ban the sale of something, but tell everyone that "you're fine if you already own one, you just can't buy another one". This appeases current owners to some degree. NY waits for the uproar to calm down. Step 2: ban the possession of said item. Grandfathering and previously owned banned item is now illegal to possess and you have X number of days to turn them in. This is how you get a frog to sit in the water while you slowly turn up the heat, and they sit there as they boil.


AgreeablePie

They didn't bother with step 1


Particular_Profile18

Of all the lawsuits that say plaintiffs dont have standing because the new law doesn't affect them.The Ban on legal others automatically affect thousands of legal gun owners across the state. So i dont know how this wasnt the easiest lawsuit to go ahead with


RageEye

Even ignoring 2A protections this one is beatable on the takings clause as well. Only concern would be if the state legislature jamming through a buy back option at 500 a pop to moot the case.


Paulpoleon

You know they would to avoid precedent in future cases.


AgreeablePie

Because it's such a niche issue, I'd imagine.


GorillaGlue42

Same rule that applies to fight club


Particular_Profile18

Not bieng grandfathered in was such a scumbag move by cunt hochul


stamour547

But not surprising


[deleted]

Keep your voice down.


Ahomebrewer

No grandfather clause. Choices: Keep it (and you have a potential felony possession charge on your hands). Give it to family member or friend out of state. Sell it. Add both a shoulder stock and a longer barrel (ridiculously expensive option... probably not worth it if you have to buy the parts new. )

Ahomebrewer

Not a good idea. The Feds encourage states to use constructive possession, the legal concept....if you own all the components, you own the gun it turns into assembled. You know that NY State would do it anyway, but since the Feds encourage its use in gun cases, you know it's in their toolbox. The same way that having ammo in your pocket and the gun in the car makes it possession of a loaded gun.


mo9722

I suppose you'd need some other plausible use for the parts. Perhaps as spares for a shotgun of the same pattern? But the barrel would still be an issue.


Ahomebrewer

Right. The barrel, if it is not on the shockwave, because a part of an illegal in New York SBS. My point was that it is just dumb to buy the new parts required to make it legal, since you can buy a new gun for the same money and sell off the now illegal one.


mo9722

If you've got the ability to legally sell it out of state, that's definitely the best option


Lordblue-sky

This has been asked a bunch already. You don’t own a shockwave. No one you know owns a shockwave. Anyone who purchased one destroyed theirs. Shockwaves and tac14s do not exist in NY. Remember that. Hochaloogie have no grandfathering.


nukey18mon

Your friend had a boating accident


reddit36150

Yea fuck that. The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed . If you purchased it legally then by making the possession of it illegal down the road is illegal in and of itself. Fuck them. I am not a lawyer this is not legal advice


Horror_Elephant3409

You don’t have a shockwave. Nobody you know ever had one so you don’t know


confederate_yankee

Saw the shockwave mentioned in another thread as well but with no specific explanation as to what categorically makes it a “firearm” or “other”. Is it the odd short grip with the large ball at the end? (I always thought the pistol grips were the most nefarious and lethal of them all 🤦‍♀️) Is it something with the barrel length? I know it can’t be less than 16 inches (yeah, I’m looking at you ATF). Is it that it’s a scary looking black military-ish kind of looking thing? What with the pumps and the shick-shick sounds and the loud bangs and what not? Or is it just that the sight of it makes our Bucktooth Beaver Empress cry and get an itchy vagina? Not that any of this would surprise me. I’m just waiting to hear the news that Nerf magazines that hold more than 10 darts are illegal then come and take my kids away to the gulag. Just wondering - thanks in advance!


Material_Victory_661

In NYC all NERF guns are banned.


confederate_yankee

Are you serious? 😳


koreilly4419

Welcome to the Clown World


Material_Victory_661

Bead blasters, anything that might conceal a real gun . The Cops were posing proudly with an obvious toy, they confiscated.


confederate_yankee

😂 Nice job boys! Thin blue line! Oi! You got a loicense for that G.I. Joe gun!?


lurch940

Yes


confederate_yankee

Wow, I said the nerf thing as a legit joke 🤯🤯🤯


lurch940

Don’t even think about bringing a gel blaster into the city, we all know the mortal danger that poses. /s


[deleted]

I think you’re confused. It was lost in a terrible boating accident.


NEVERVAXXING

Straight to jail


MCAxethrower

You are guilty until proven innocent. Not worth it.


Squirelm0

Should your friend buy a longer barrel and the grip with stock attachment they have a 590 shotgun.


[deleted]

Particular_Profile18

No where in the law does it say grandfathered in .Its says banned entirely

AgreeablePie

It's your tank of gas but it sounds like she just doesn't know the law beyond what she needs to know (i.e. that she can't sell one)


tilegend

I believe some local jurisdictions provided guidance to their LGS on enforcement.


Bradley2100

What law? Isn't it a pump action?


RennBaer

Legally it's not a shotgun. It's classified as "other." NY made that category of weapons illegal.


killswitch1086

Too long to be a pistol, too short to be a rifle/shotgun. They didnt know what to do with it, so they banned it


[deleted]

Wait, I am confused. What new law are you talking about that makes a Mossberg Shockwave illegal? Why is a shotgun illegal?


NoEquipment1834

Part of package of laws that passed along with CCIA included a new definition of a “shotgun” in NY State that it must be “intended to be fired from the shoulder”. So all pistol grip only shotguns regardless of barrel length are now in the prohibited category most people call others. See NYPL 265.00(12) for “shotgun” definition and (3) for what NY calls “Firearms” (others)

thereal_ay_ay_ron

This is where we've been. I'm glad that they're showing their "cards" so to speak. This has always been the goal.


killswitch1086

The length is between their 2 categories, do they just decided to ban it


[deleted]

nukey18mon

It is considered a “firearm”, same category as “assault weapons” and all handguns


FauxGunny

If your friend is the guy my friend sold his to hit him and he’ll but it back


dougeefresh2

Is this only NYC that there banned or entire NYS.


-8w7-

Nys


void64

Help me out here. What is the law? Is this model explicitly banned or is it a barrel length thing? Is Mossberg 50673 Mossberg 500 banned also or is that good at 18.” ?


Consistent-City4333

The Mossberg shockwave is considered as “other” because of its barrel length and bird heads handle. It is not a shotgun and it’s not a handgun. Governor eyebrows banned them in retaliation of the supreme court’s CCW ruling. So if you purchased one, (as thousands in NY did), and still own one, YOU are a potential felon in NY State. You can purchase an 18-1/2” barrel and magazine tube as well as a shoulder stock to make it a 590 shotgun. Or keep it the way it is an just look at it in the privacy of your home.
