Senator Cory Booker was asked about Beto’s plan to take all of our AR-15’s and AK-47’s.
This is his interview:
Like Miguel mentioned on Wednesday, there was zero compliance with New Jersey’s magazine ban.Ā Across the river, the same thing happened after the passage of the NYSAFE act.
Massive noncompliance with SAFE Act
In 2014, attorney and policy analyst Paloma Capanna filed suit on behalf of Rochester-based radio host Bill Robinson seeking data on NY SAFE Act compliance: specifically, how many assault weapons had actually been registered in the state.
Cuomo administration officials first ignored, then denied Robinsonās Freedom of Information Act request. But, on June 22, following two years of litigation, state police released the information based on a court decision which found that while the law forbade the disclosure of the actual registration forms, nothing precluded the release of aggregate data.
That data shows massive noncompliance with the assault weapon registration requirement. Based on an estimate from the National Shooting Sports Federation, about 1 million firearms in New York State meet the lawās assault-weapon criteria, but just 44,000 have been registered. Thatās a compliance rate of about 4 percent. 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.
āItās not that they arenāt aware of the law,ā said Capanna. āThe lack of registration is a massive act of civil disobedience by gun owners statewide.ā
New Jersey couldn’t get anybody to turn in their magazines, New York got 4% compliance on registration – which isn’t confiscation – and in Florida, nobody has turned in their banned bump stocks.
So just exactly how do Beto and Booker expect their mandatory buyback to work considering that at the state level, ban compliance is somewhere between 0-4%?
Either the government will have to go door to door or the government will have to claim that 2% compliance is a victory.
