New bills for 2010

From NRA site

New York: Large Number of Anti-Gun Bills Filed in Albany

Friday, January 22, 2010


The following anti-gun bills have been referred to various committees in the New York State Senate and Assembly and are awaiting action. Please take the time to contact your lawmakers and urge them to oppose the following list of anti-gun bills:

* Assembly Bill 801A and its Senate companion, S 1598A, would require five-year renewals on pistol licenses.
* Assembly Bill 1093 and its Senate companion, S 1715, would create liability for legal firearm retailers when criminals misuse firearms.
* Assembly Bill 1275 and its Senate companion, S 1712, would outlaw the private sale and transfer of long guns.
* Assembly Bill 1326 and its Senate companion, S 5228, would outlaw all handguns sold in the state not equipped with so-called "child-proofing" measures.
* Assembly Bill 2881 and its Senate companion, S 2379, would ban the sale of common self-defense and hunting ammunition.
* Assembly Bill 2884 would prohibit gun shows on public property.
* Assembly Bill 2885 and Assembly Bill 2910 would establish standards for guns sold in the state and would allow the state police to prevent ANY firearm they deem unsafe from being transferred into the state.
* Assembly Bill 3200 and its Senate companion, S 2953, would require ammunition coding or bullet serialization.
* Assembly Bill 3346 would outlaw affordable handguns commonly used for self-defense.
* Assembly Bill 3477 and its Senate companion, S 1188, would expand the failed 10-year-old, ballistic imaging program to include even more firearms.
* Assembly Bill 4441 and its Senate companion, S 4338, would prohibit the manufacture, sale or transfer of handguns not equipped with so-called "smart gun" technology.
* Assembly Bill 5844 and its Senate companion, S 3098, would prohibit keeping firearms available for self-defense in the home.
* Assembly Bill 6157 and Assembly Bill 6294 and their Senate companion, S 4084, would drastically expand the state's ban on so-called "assault weapons" to include virtually all semi-automatic rifles and pistols that can accept detachable magazines.
* Assembly Bill 6468B and its Senate companion, S 6005, would outlaw the sale of all semi-automatic handguns not equipped with so-called "microstamping" technology.
* Senate Bill 4752 would ban certain firearms based upon bore diameter.

On a positive note, during one of the state's worst fiscal crises, the NRA would like to highlight worthwhile legislation. Assembly Bill 5427 and Assembly Bill 6388 and their Senate companion, S 1152, seek to eliminate the state's ballistic imaging database (COBIS). New York taxpayers should be outraged that over the last decade nearly 50 million dollars have been spent on this supposed crime-fighting tool that has resulted in ZERO prosecutions.

Looks like Big Brother has one hell of a foot hold in NY,...

[WanderingFool]

Was just there this weekend(wayyyy upstate). My customer there said NY state is really hurting for any money it can get. They are supposedly taxing or will be taxing every ammo sale in the state. Above and beyond normal sales tax. Oh, don't speed in NY, my customer said the police are everywhere writing IOU to the state of NY.

This guy is a small(tiny) business man and he said it is almost impossible to stay in NY. Also the government employees out number private employess.

Great,,,PA is right behind them.
State union membership levels depend on both the employment level and
union membership rate. The largest numbers of union members lived in
California (2.5 million) and New York (2.0 million). About half of the
15.3 million union members in the U.S. lived in just 6 states (Cali-
fornia, 2.5 million; New York, 2.0 million; Illinois, 1.0 million;
Pennsylvania, 0.8 million; and Michigan and New Jersey, 0.7 million
each), though these states accounted for only one-third of wage and
salary employment nationally.

Typically the union jobs are government jobs.

Still better in PA!

I bolded the WTF/scary ones. Are they serious with S978? Sounds like they're looking to test incorporating GPS locators into firearms so they can be tracked at all times.

and H2202 mentions closing automatic weapons loop holes... WTF are they referring to? The NFA??

The thing that pisses me off most on the NY list is that they actually want to ban firearms in the home for self-defense. Besides the obvious problems with forcing single mothers or the elderly to defend themselves from rapists and murderers with harsh language, Heller just ruled that is blatantly unconstitutional!!

Unfortunately, Heller does not yet apply to state or local governments. Until the U.S. Supreme Court rules that the Second Amendment is incorporated when it hears the McDonald v. Chicago case later this year, state and local governments are not bound by Heller.

I went to school in NY, and I couldn't wait to leave the state. I fully understand why NYers want to bolt.

NY going further down the tubes?

I think someone just flushed the toilet.

I honestly can't believe even NY has a chance at passing most of those bills.
It's just too invaisive even for NY. It reads like a wish list. Throwing as much shit against the wall as possible hoping something sticks.

Regardless if this type of crap doesn't cause mass NYS revolt than they deserve it.
