You are making it sound like NYS mandated an AR in every piece of state land that can be hunted!!! Lets get a figure of how many acres of huntable public land areas dont have an AR as to the ones that do. Is raising licsence costs doin the same thing!!!!!??? Driving people out of the sport !!?? Yet guys like Steve863 have no problems with that!!! Go to your local sports shop and see what more guys are bitching about- ridiculous licsence costs or experimental ARs.
