NY gun legislation signed

there are no current microstamping designs that work. Is their goal to eliminate any new purchases? I suspect it won't stand up to a Supreme Court review, if it even gets that far.

I believe it is the core cause of the California "List", which should fall before too long.
 
From the Opinion:

" That said, because any permitting scheme can be put toward abusive ends, we do not rule out constitutional challenges to shall-issue regimes where, for example, lengthy wait times in processing license applications or exorbitant fees deny ordinary citizens their right to public carry. "

So, the next step will be for SCOTUS to step all over these new restrictions- probably striking down place restrictions..

Not a winning plan for NY and NJ, but great for us.
 
Or NJ Gov Murphy on CNN: "...we will attack folks who don't know how to use guns..."

Does his statement then mean that gun knowledgeable folks are safe from his attacks?
And if that's the case, then will folks be quizzed on their gun knowledge to determine who will or won't be "attacked"?
Inquiring minds want to know………

Hochul signs New York bill requiring social media history to obtain gun carry permit | Washington Examiner

...... The legislation will also create a statewide database for ammunition sales and license records and mandate sellers to keep records of every ammunition transaction......(QUOTE]


The original SAFE ACT, that the NYS Legislature and the Gov put into law in 2014 already created:
'A statewide database for ammunition sales and license records and mandate sellers to keep records of every ammunition transaction...'

That is still alive within the SAFE Act, though the data base has never been established to this point,,it's 'on hold' so to speak.
It will be/was to be run by the NYSP. (need $$)
It was never cancelled or dropped from the original law.

The original law created a 'Seller of Ammunition' license.
Anyone that sells ammo is supposed to have one.
Again the NYSP issue it thru the orig SAFE ACT.
Any FFL licensed in NYS was automaticly issued and sent one back in 2014.
Mine is around somewhere.

No one bothers with it, most don't know about it's existance and now we have a duplication of a still non existant practice from 2014 in a new updated gun law to keep everyone safe and secure.

and some people applaud...

As per the NYSP Pistol License Division in Albany, we were advised today that as of 7/03 "others" to include the Mossberg Shockwave and the Remington Tac 13 and Tac 14 were illegal. They further advised that there was no "grandfather" provision…
And as of 9/04, purchase of a semiautomatic rifle will require a duly issued license.
Here we go New York!

They need some SCOTUS squashing

looks like another smackdown is in order. Are there any crime stats to support it, or do they just make people wet themselves when they see one?
 
NY Sheriffs weigh in... they are not impressed.

MSN

It's what I said. 62 counties in NY. 14 voted for Cuomo. 48 did not. That's 48 elected sheriff's who have to answer to their constituents. When the Safe Act was passed, several sheriff's publicly stated they would not enforce it. This new law was to try and score some political points. But in my opinion they reached way too far. There can't be one gun owner in NY who supports this. And if they do now, they won't when they try to buy a box of hunting ammo and have to wait for days or weeks for a background check.

I think they poked the bear with this one. They could have done a couple of things and called it a victory. Outlawing something like 95% of the state from lawful carry has gone overboard.
 
So, what if you don't use social media? Does this automatically disqualify you? I don't let myself be subject to identity theft and fraud so I guess that makes me a bad person.

Nah, it was a clear spit in the eye of SCOTUS. We'll see how that plays out.

That's a good question and I expect those who crafted this abomination did not think that far ahead.

Of course it was. But it went too far and it's going to backfire. A friend of mine at work is a real FUDD. Doesn't even own a semi auto pistol. Revolvers, bolt action and pump action shotguns. He couldn't have cared less about the Safe Act. He still carried his Model 36 wherever he wanted to. Now he can't and he's pissed. He hadn't even heard about the background check for ammo. When I told him that he looked like he was going to explode.

There needs to be a full court press on this to let the public know how far this goes. Most people read the headlines only. Remember when Trump was elected how popular it was to roast him? Then Kathy Griffin did that picture holding up a bloody severed Trump head. Oops! Too far! A year ago it was all the rage to chant Defund The Police! Now they're all walking that back. The NY Governor (not even elected) took advantage of public sentiment and signed this nonsense. I'm pretty much a committed cynic, but my gut is telling me this one if gonna fail hard. Makes the Safe Act look like nothing.

I'm quite sure you will be denied a permit for failing to disclose social accounts. Why would they put that in thr law.
A gun forum like arfcom? You may be ok with muzzleloading.
 
Sheriffs may resist.



"Sheriffs haven't received additional money or staffing to handle a new application process, said Peter Kehoe, the executive director of the New York Sheriffs' Association. The law, he asserted, infringes on Second Amendment rights, and while applicants must list their social media accounts, he doesn't think local officials will necessarily look at them.

"I don't think we would do that," Kehoe said. "I think it would be a constitutional invasion of privacy"



New York gun applicants will have to hand over social accounts
 
Sheriffs need to be cautious in how they resist...our Sec of State here in NM last month filed the first 'writ of mandamus' done here in decades, maybe half a century, to force a county commission to do its job. They did their jobs rather than be immediately removed from their positions.
 
I've had a NY Pistol Permit for over 50 years. 25 years ago I started my own business and it was upgraded to full carry with no hassle at all.

Now, it looks like I can't carry almost everywhere.

I'm sorry the Supreme Court accepted the case and ruled on it. It is now worse than ever.
