New bill introduced to the Clown Council, INT 1016-2024, Requires dealers in firearms, rifles, and shotguns to display a warning sign where the firearms, rifles, or shotguns are displayed or where they are transferred to the purchaser.
From the bill text:
A notice stating: “A firearm in the home significantly increases the risk of suicide, homicide, death during domestic disputes, and unintentional deaths to children, household members, and others. If you or a loved one is experiencing distress or depression, call the Mobile Crisis Team at 1-888-NYC-WELL (1-888-692-9355) or the National Suicide Hotline at 988.” Such notice shall be at least 8 inches by 11 inches and printed in no less than 36-point font, and shall be unobstructed in its entirety.
The sponsor is very pleased with himself for coming up with this “new” idea:
Tomorrow we’re doing something that’s never been done, but will hopefully one day be done everywhere: introducing legislation requiring gun stores to display graphic imagery, in addition to warning signage, that conveys the health dangers of firearm ownership. pic.twitter.com/U1bxEjzr70

The obvious goal is to scare would-be gun owners into not exorcising their 2A rights. It won’t work because the fact that guns are dangerous is their main selling point. Clownsticks like Bottcher refuse to accept this.
