The New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, in cooperation with several other organizations, has filed suit to overturn the ban that just passed there a few days ago.  Here's a link to the donation page - please help them out!  If this ban can be overturned it will set a major precedent for the rest of the country.

--- Quote ---Preparations are already being made for mass resistance. “I’ve heard from hundreds of people that they’re prepared to defy the law, and that number will be magnified by the thousands, by the tens of thousands, when the registration deadline comes,’’ said President Brian Olesen with American Shooters Supply, among the biggest gun dealers in the state, in an interview with the New York Post.

Even government officials admit that forcing New Yorkers to register their guns will be a tough sell, and they are apparently aware that massive non-compliance will be the order of the day. “Many of these assault-rifle owners aren’t going to register; we realize that,’’ a source in the Cuomo administration told the Post, adding that officials expect “widespread violations” of the new statute.

Can you elaborate a bit? By ugly, do you just mean that their state is getting heavier handed?

Are they just not going to register in defiance, or are they going to get together with their rifles and hold a rally after the deadline?

I just read the complete article, makes more sense.
