Assemblywoman Amy Paulin is one of the biggest supporters of gun control in Albany and she has an op-ed in the Yonkers Times, “Gun Control is Suicide Prevention.”
It’s premise is just recycled antigun talking points so there is no substance there. What I believe is important is that she mentions a couple of bills she is sponsoring. I have found that when electeds do these guest op-eds it is often a sign that they intend to push those bills when the legislature returns to regular session.
The bills in question are A-198A, Relates to establishing a voluntary waiver of the right to purchase firearms, rifles or shotguns, and A-1210A, Establishes a waiting period before a firearm, shotgun or rifle may be delivered to a person. The former is just stupid, the later is more serious as similar proposals have bee floated in the State Senate. Set up alerts to watch both of them. The state legislature returns to session the 2nd week in January.
