NY Law as of today.
NYAmmunition:
400.03(7) - Sales and transfers must be made in person at and by licensed dealers.
400.03(3)(A) - Background checks for sale using a to be established state system or NICS.
400.03(5) - Records destroyed within one year.
Ammunition purchases are not probable cause of a crime.
s.400.10
Must report loss or theft of ammunition within 24 hours to police or sheriff.
Failure to report a loss of ammunition is a Class A Misdemeanor. Changing this section also turned the penalty for failure to report a lost weapon from a $100 max fine to a Class A Misdemeanor.
Firearms:
Private sales/transfers are now illegal. A transfer of ownership must go through an FFL unless it is between immediate family members (spouses, domestic partners, children and step-children).
Failure to register a FIREARM lawfully possessed prior to the effective date which requires registration is a Class E Felony. (256.01-B).
(Wondering what this would apply to, seems like an additional penalty for failing to register a semi-auto pistol that was pre-94 ban or legal in features under the 2000 Ban provisions. Nothing else would be a firearm legal to possess and also subject to registration - need to think about this more.)
Assault Weapons:
Old guns would be registered:
Failure to register knowingly is a Class A Misdemeanor (the author fails to say exactly what, "such weapon" is but it appears to refer to pre-1994 ban and 2000 ban complaint guns).
Failure to register unknowingly results in a warning from Law Enforcement and 30 days to register the weapon. If not registered or surrendered, the weapon is to be removed form the possession of the owner.
Features not allowed for NEW guns:
265.00(22) changes the definition of assault weapon to one of what used to be known as "evil features," and expands the list of "evil features."

1) Folding or Telescoping Stock.

3) Thumbhole Stock.
4) Second Grip (read: vertical foregrip)

Magazines:
Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Devices are redefined in 265.00 (23):

A magazine that contains more than 7 rounds. (Meaning that you can use you pre-2013 ban 8-10 rounders but can only out 7 bullets in them).
A magazine obtained after the effective date of the new legislation that can accept more than 7 rounds.
Exemptions: Curio and Relic magazines and tubular .22 attached magazines.

These magazines are now illegal.
If you have a "reasonable belief that it was lawful to possess" and you surrender or destroy it within 30 days of being told that it is illegal, you are not guilty of the unlawful possession.
Possession is otherwise a Class A Misdemeanor.
265.37 - Magazines 8-10 rounds that are loaded with more than 7 rounds.
Possession in the home is a violation. Second offense is a Class B Misdemeanor.
