When NY passed the SAFE ACT, registration of newly defined assault weapons was required within 1 year. Remember that Cuomo used a "message of necessity" to by-pass the state constitution and push through the legislation in the middle of the night. These weapons were so dangerous that this had to be done right away but an individual had 1 year to actually comply. Your only other choice was to transfer ownership to someone out of state. Apparently his plan worked. Out of the estimated 1,000,000,000 (million) newly defined assault weapons thought to exist at the time the legislation was passed, approximately 40,000 were registered. About 4%. Most of these were LEO's that had no choice. That tells me that the SAFE ACT was a complete success, ridding the state of 960,000 dangerous weapons.
