Most NY Safe Act arrests so far for crimes that pre-date new gun laws | syracuse.com
Not that New York would jump the gun or anything.
You'll remember the dust up - ban of high capacity magazines - those over 7 rds. "Assault Weapons" etc.
A few of the arrestees listed were prematurely charged. 7 people were charged .. a requirement that doesn't go into effect until next year.
The majority were already crimes, although perhaps different - ie 864 were charged -- new felony, old misdemeanor
