Failure to recertify will result in a revocation of the registration. A person who knowingly fails to apply to register an assault weapon on or before January 15, , will be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
A person unknowingly failing to register an assault weapon within the time period provided by statute must be given a warning by an appropriate law enforcement authority about this failure and given 30 days in which to apply to register or surrender the weapon.
A failure to do so within 30 days will result in the weapon being declared a nuisance and removed by an appropriate law enforcement authority. That data shows massive noncompliance with the assault weapon registration requirement. Capanna said that the high rate of noncompliance with the law could only be interpreted as a large-scale civil disobedience, given the high level of interest and concern about the law on the part of gun owners.
Upstate police agencies have also demonstrated a marked lack of enthusiasm for enforcing the ban on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines. According to statistics compiled by the state Department of Criminal Justice Services, there have been just 11 arrests for failure to register an otherwise-legal assault weapon since the SAFE Act took effect in March and 62 for possession of a large capacity magazine.
In Ulster County, where assault weapons have been registered, there have been just three arrests for possession of large-capacity magazines and none for failure to register an assault weapon. Ulster County Sheriff Paul VanBlarcum has been a vocal critic of the law; he said he believed large numbers of Ulster County gun owners had chosen to ignore the registration requirement.

VanBlarcum said he had advised deputies to use their discretion when it came to making arrests for SAFE Act violations like unregistered assault weapons and he had no plans to undertake proactive enforcement measures. Capanna said the registration debacle pointed to bigger issues with the SAFE Act: while federal firearms laws and the bureaucracy that enforces them date back a century, New York was effectively trying to create an entirely new regulatory framework from scratch.
Capanna pointed to a SAFE Act requirement for background checks on ammunition sales as an example of regulatory overreach. The mandate has gone unenforced because the federal database used to screen gun buyers cannot be legally used for any other purpose. The state, meanwhile, has failed to come up with its own database to track ammunition sales. Capanna added that the state police, who are charged with enforcing the registration requirements, are a police agency, not a regulatory agency with experience interpreting and enforcing complex rules governing lawful activities like firearms and ammunition sales.
Police agencies are there to enforce the law. This is a law. You can look it up. This is at best selective enforcement. So I think really when we think of the nonsense with the tracking down of warrants at DSS, that was a sort of selective enforcement focus also.
Political beliefs ought not enter into things, but obviously they do here. And the same goes for every other police agency in this state that refuses to enforce this law. Since the Sheriff refuses to enforce the law, his agency then is not really a part of this state and ought to be declared outside the law itself, and has in fact, without an official declaration, SECEDED from New York State.
Officer … You are so full of crap! You think you are special and that you are exempt. This will bite you in the ass too. I hope soon. He is a lying scumbag tyrant! Do you feel like your right arm wants to go out and do the Nazi salute? You should! This was not done democratically but was surreptitiously done in the middle of the night.
Lol so you want to call people nazis that wont enforce dictatorial laws? I am a extremely safety oriantated responsible owners of both ar and ak style rifles and i keep them and my hi cap mags under lock and key since i am a law abiding man i refuse to ever give mine up no matter what the fed government says nor will they be registered cause just so some overreaching power drunk regime track me so eventually they will come take them once they finally completely ban them after people like you help them take away our rights slowly finding more reasons to make gun laws tighter and tighter until theres a complete ban on them!
Im sorry if this is offensive but i dont care…. The us gov was put in place to protect the rights of the people nothing more! The Penns circumvented the democratically-elected local legislature by having the colonial governor negate their tax in favor of a token small stipend that they would pay one time, and that was it.
Sodomy is against the law also but that certainly is not enforced, along with many other laws. But the registration platform is still active and they are telling people that they can still register their AWs. I would place the number at better than 3-million. The new law now requires anyone who owns a handgun or grandfathered assault rifle to recertify his or her permit every five years. That already is the case in downstate counties. Firearms owners who live with individuals who have been convicted of a crime, been involuntarily committed, or are subject to an order of protection are obligated to keep their guns secure in a safe-storage depository or put a safety lock on the gun.
