A new legislative session brings many opportunities, and anti-gunners in the New York State Legislature have taken it upon themselves to continue the effort in disarming their citizens. As it stands, GOA is tracking multiple anti-gun bills moving through the legislature which can be seen below:
- NY S 418, Senator Gianaris, prohibits the purchase of more than 1 firearm during any period of 30 days and its companion bill, NY A 1774, from Assemblywoman Rosenthal.
- NY A 2228, Assemblywoman Rajkumar, requires background checks in order to purchase a 3D printer.
- NY S 2158, Senator Comrie, establishes a database of information relating to the sale or use of micro-stamped guns. (Micro-stamped referring to firearms with firing pins that imprint unique markings onto cartridge casings.)
- NY S 2089, Senator Kavanagh, expands background checks to include juvenile delinquency records for persons under age 30 when purchasing a firearm.
- NY S 1455, Senator Kavanagh, Allowing the division of criminal justice services to certify the technological viability of “personalized handguns” and to establish requirements related to the sale of “personalized handguns”, along with its companion bill, A 1191, from Assemblyman Bores. (Personalized handguns referring to pistols or revolvers that could be programmed to function only when activated by the firearm’s lawful owner or other authorized user.)
- NY S 1358, Senator Serrano, Would require all pistols to be equipped with a permanent “Child Proofing Device.”
- NY A 437, Assemblyman Dinowitz, Suicide warning signs would be required on-site at any establishment that sells, displays, or delivers firearms.
- NY A 346, Assemblywoman Paulin, Under 21 purchase ban.
- NY A 2060, Assemblywoman Rajkumar, Requires any firearm manufactured by a three-dimensional printer to contain a unique identifying number and to be registered with the state police.
If we are loud enough, we can still hold the line on these issues, as the majority of these bills were JUST introduced. Reach out to your legislators immediately in the form above and urge them to OPPOSE these anti-gun bills.
