Highlights of NY gun control bill ( wait what ) ...

[newarkhiphop]

Provisions in a sweeping gun control bill before the New York Legislature:




—Further restrict assault weapons to define them by a single feature, such as a pistol grip. Current law requires two features.
—Make the unsafe storage of assault weapons a misdemeanor.
—Mandate a police registry of assault weapons.
—Establish a state registry for all private sales, with a background check done through a licensed dealer for a fee, excluding sales to immediate relatives.
—Require a therapist who believes a mental health patient made a credible threat to use a gun illegally to report the threat to a mental health director who would then have to report serious threats to the state Department of Criminal Justice Services. A patient's gun could be taken from him or her.
—Ban the Internet sale of assault weapons.
—Require stores that sell ammunition to register with the state, run background checks on buyers of bullets and keep an electronic database of bullet sales.
—Restrict ammunition magazines to seven bullets, from the current national standard of 10. Current owners of higher-capacity magazines would have a year to sell them out of state. Someone caught with eight or more bullets in a magazine could face a misdemeanor charge.
—Require that stolen guns be reported within 24 hours. Otherwise, the owner would face a possible misdemeanor.
—Increase sentences for gun crimes including for taking a gun on school property.
—Increase penalties for shooting first responders, called the "Webster provision." Two firefighters were killed when shot by a person who set a fire in the western New York town of Webster last month. The crime would be punishable by life in prison without parole.
—Limit the state records law to protect handgun owners from being identified publicly. The provision would allow a handgun permit holder a means to maintain privacy under the Freedom of Information law.
—Require pistol permit holders or those who will be registered as owners of assault rifles to be recertified at least every five years to make sure they are still legally able to own the guns.

the safety store law was already a part of it if i'm not mistaken, its unlawful to bring your weapon outside of the home

registries of any kind are always attacked as government entrapment/spying on citizens (even in healthcare) so that's not exactly astonishing

background checks of any kind on guns have been fought in every state, so you have to holla at your pro gun folks about that

you do it to prevent people from being able to buy a gun legally and then turn around and sell/give it to a "criminal"

The NRA wants to make sure that children die. That is their mission

(yes, i know my statement is stupid, but i am getting sick and tired of the NRA blocking every single attempt to protect children from being murdered)

Tell that to Canada, they tried a registry recently and it was just a huge waste of money

Criminals get guns illegally, a registry doesn't stop shyt

I doubt even 1% of guns in criminals hands come from guns given to them or sold by an upstanding citizen lmao

*edit*
Even if they did sell a registered firearm. What's to stop them from saying it was stolen?

upstanding citizens don't do that because they already have to register their gun in most cases. this bill just seeks to tighten the system and close loopholes

do you not agree that there should be something that prevents someone from legally buying a gun, then turning around and selling it to whoever?

That's the problem, common sense regulations that would actually help the situation are always blocked by the 2nd amendment "don't take my guns away"crowd. And in reality most of these regulations are useless cause a person can just conduct their gun business in the next state over and bring the guns back to NY. We need these types of rules on a national level for them to be most effective.
