Oh, and on your suggestion about Cabelas. AGAIN, this is NOT about whether an out of state seller can sell to NYers.

It's about the legality of NYers making purchases to be shipped to their homes or businesses, without special registration or FFL.

Out-of-state sellers have different legal concerns. And depending upon what state they sell from, they may care a lot, or very little, about what effect NY's laws have on them.

Even if Cabelas would agree to sell to a non-registered, non-FFL NY addressee...that STILL wouldn't make it legal for the purchaser. But I seriously doubt Cabelas would do it if it weren't legal for the purchaser, even if technically legal on their end.
