My state, New York, has already tightened a ban on Assault weapons by redefining what qualifies a gun as an assault weapon. We're also now requiring background checks on ammunition purchases, and outlawing large capacity magazines. The limit for the magazines is 7 bullets, I believe. You may think it's easy and unopposed in New York State, however, this is only really true for the city area. Upstate New York is very big on guns, and are quite angry over this. But if it can happen in one state, it can happen in others.
