As one of your constituents and a supporter of Gun Owners of America, I urge you to OPPOSE the following unconstitutional anti-gun bills making their way through the Legislature: NY S 5952, Senator Parker, requires any firearm manufactured by a 3D printer to contain a unique identifying number and to be registered with the state police. NY S 5974, Senator Parker, requires firearm owners to obtain liability insurance of covering at least 1 million dollars in potential damages. NY S 5813, Senator Sepulveda, and NY A 6024, Assemblywoman Simon, both bills relate to imposing excise taxes on firearms and ammunition. NY S 744, Senator Hoylman-Sigal, a "Rapid-fire modification device" ban that includes any bump stock, trigger-crank, binary trigger system, burst trigger system, "pistol converter", or any other device designed to accelerate a firearms rate of fire. NY S 5818, Senator Sepulveda, allows anyone (excluding state or local government officers and employees) to bring civil action against those who manufacture, distribute, or sell "assault weapons" or "ghost guns" or their parts within the state, including those who aid or abet or intend to do so. The bill also goes as far to explicitly state that defendants cannot use defenses such as ignorance of the law or belief in the unconstitutionality of the requirements. NY A 544, Assemblywoman Paulin, requires police officers to take temporary custody of firearms when responding to reports of family violence. As always, these bills are infringements on due process rights. NY A 6113, Assemblyman Benedetto, prohibits the issuing of firearms licenses to individuals on the federal no-fly list or terrorist screening database. This bill is also a violation of due process rights, and these lists have a long history of abuse attached to them. It was only last year that Tulsi Gabbard was placed on a domestic terror watchlist without any form of recourse, despite the fact that she had committed no crimes. The action itself was a form of political retribution from the Biden administration. NY S 5279, Senator Sepulveda, directs the state police to develop regulations regarding bulk purchase of firearms or ammunition and investigate those purchases for potential criminal activity. This bill is a direct infringement on gun owners' privacy rights. It was referred to the Senate Finance Committee on February 20th. NY S 4790, Senator Sanders, requires a purchaser of any firearm, rifle or shotgun to submit to a mental health evaluation. NY S 4277, Senator Kavanagh, .50 caliber firearm ban. 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, requiring 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 Assemblymember 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. Gun Owners of America will keep me, and their tens of thousands of other supporters in the state, informed of how you choose to vote.
