Senate Bill S5763 requires firearms training, drug testing, mental evaluations, purchase of hunting liscense, and disclosure of social media accounts for the purchase of firearms.
https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2023/S5763 "Relates to establishing additional requirements to purchase a firearm, shotgun or rifle; requires a person to apply for a hunting license prior to the purchase of a shotgun or rifle; establishes additional requirements for all firearms, shotguns and rifles including taking a five hour gun safety course and exam, passing a shooting range test with 90% accuracy, providing notarized proof of a passed drug test and mental health evaluation, providing proof of purchase of firearm and ammunition safe storage depositories and passing a criminal background check." "Although the need tohave protection is understandable, the notion that every citizen should possess a firearm is absurd. New York is one of six states whose consti- tution does not explicitly protect the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Being a "May Issue" policy state, the issuance of a firearm is at the discretion of the issuing officer." Im not very good at reading this legal stuff and can't tell if this effects people who are already in possession of pistol permits or if this applies to everyone in the state. |

It hasn't passed yet, and probably won't, but seems like it only applies to the purchase transaction?

"New York is one of six states whose constitution does not explicitly protect the right of the people to keep and bear arms."
Fortunately the U.S. Constitution does. "Being a "May Issue" policy state, the issuance of a firearm is at the discretion of the issuing officer." Not after NYSRP v. Bruen. |

Quoted: This is the part I was speaking about "persons who were licensed to possess a pistol or revolver prior to [the effective date of this paragraph] July first, two thousand twenty-two are not required to have completed a firearms safety course and test, provided, however, persons with a license issued under paragraph (f) of subdivision two of this section prior to [the effective date of the laws of two thousand twenty-two which amended this paragraph] July first, two thousand twenty-two shall be required to complete the training required by subdivision nineteen of this section prior to the recertification of such license; and (iii) persons applying for a license under paragraph (f) of subdivision two of this section on or after [the effective date of the chapter of the laws of two thousand twenty-two which amended this paragraph] July first, two thousand twenty-two who shall be required to complete the training" View Quote You're exempt from training that you already have to take for the pistol license. This bill could be shortened to 'fuck guns'. Interesting new sleaze to require a very onerous license with multiple types of background checks to purchase a rifle or shotgun while pretending it's a hunting license. I doubt this passes now but I bet it does if we win a couple in court. I don't know why anybody is optimistic, NY is only ever going to further restrict 2A rights, NEVER respect them. |

The other semi-humorous sleaze they throw in:
Must be 21 to buy a gun. Exception for those who have an honorable discharge from the military. Before they're 21! I know it can happen but it's a small group. |

I just called the legislative director.
She was not even slightly aware of the Bruen decision and had no idea the supreme court affirmed that the 2nd amendment guarantees a right to own a gun...or that they made NY shall issue. So they are just blissfully ignorant. |

Yeah I mean unless SCOTUS unleashes hell on NY and sets up a special oversight of some kind to prevent NY from passing more and more laws ignoring Bruen...NY democrats ain't gonna stop.
One gets struck...they pass another. And another. We need SCOTUS to intervene like they did with segregation. |

Quoted: "New York is one of six states whose constitution does not explicitly protect the right of the people to keep and bear arms." View Quote But they got it in Civil Rights Law Article 2 - NY Civil Rights Law S 4. Right to keep and bear arms. A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms cannot be infringed. |

Social media accounts: cos that's not a 1A violation of course ... your rights will be determined on whether or not they like what you post?
That shit needs to go away. In the meantime never use your real name for social media. If you do (like on FB) lock it up tight so that no one can see anything you don't want them to see. Or just don't post anything. |

I wish there were similar requirements to run for political office.

Quoted: That bill was initially filed in 2019 before the Bruen decision but its funny how there is a little part in the bill claiming how it was read over twice. So I doubt they actually forgot about that being worded in there. The state is literally completely disregarding the Supreme Court's ruling and isn't afraid of not hiding it. View Quote |

I thought they were requiring you to provide your accounts AND passwords (or did they rescind the password requirement? - that was a major crapfest when that requirement was first announced). If so, locking it down is pointless if they have your credentials.

Meh.
Nassau county and the republican executive are way ahead of em. |

Quoted: Meh. Nassau county and the republican executive are way ahead of em. View Quote I still remember back in 2000 when the Republican Legislature and Republican County Executive Tom Gullota pushed through the license fee increase to $200 every five years. Local gun shop was telling me I should apply for one before the fee officially kicked in (they would have helped me with the paperwork). Of course I would have had to pay $200 in 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020, etc. The "R" party talks a good game but as we have seen at every level of government, they fold faster than Superman on laundry day (thanks Bart Simpson) when it comes to the 2A. Yes they are usually better than Democrats but at times it seems like a choice of "who was better to live under? Mao, Fidel, Stalin or Hitler?". Their caving in last summer on gun control has turned into a big selling point for the gun control movement. |

The ink wasn’t dry on Bruen and they created a series of laws and regulations to circumvent it and the spirit of that decision. Could NY financially survive if every law abiding gun owner left? I would love to find out - I did my share leaving 7 years ago. Unless you have a loved one terminally Ill and you need to care for him, I know of no other legitimate reason for a gun owner to stay in NY. |

Yeah if Hochul or an LEO org enforces a law SCOTUS deemed unconstitutional, I'd hope contempt of court would be happening. Perp walk Hochul! |

Until the executive branch sends in the federal marshals, states like NY will continue to pass laws they KNOW don't pass constitutional muster. I've been to several rallies protesting the same 'safe storage' laws that Heller\McDonald found unconstitutional. |

That's the problem, it takes five years to get the Supreme Court to do anything but NY can pass new restrictions every day
