imfdb.org - Cuomo AMENDS NY gun bans because it stops film production in New York (Doh!!)

I just love the IGNORANCE of politicians like CUOMO. :mad:

Quote:

Cuomo said the prop firearms used in films would probably not be classified as an assault weapon.

Really? How so?

One of the good things about sites like IMFDB is that we educate the public. Anyone who studies this site realizes that REAL GUNS are used in films. Sure some airsofts are used, but the vast majority of scenes, especially live fire, will be live guns.

Also there is the inconvenient fact that airsoft companies don't make Airsoft guns of EVERY make and model ever made. Need Winchester Pump 22? You have to use the real thing. Need an obscure Spanish or European Handgun? You have to use the real thing. Need a 454 Casull Revolver?

The list goes on and on.
