“I think it’s 50-50 odds whether or not this thing gets concurred,” Sorrell said Monday afternoon. “With each passing hour I’m more convinced the House is going to non-concur (with the Senate changes).”
The Senate added to Stringer’s bill a provision to set up a fund to help counties offset a loss in permit fees. Democrats said it was wrong to shift that cost from permit-holders to the General Fund, which supports other government services.
The Senate also added a provision allowing a police officer to temporarily take custody of a gun during an investigation based on reasonable suspicion that a person “is engaged or is about to be engaged in criminal conduct, or the officer otherwise reasonably believes it is necessary for the protection of the officer, individual, or any other individual.”
While holding the gun, police could search criminal history and weapons databases to determine if the person is prohibited from having a gun. Police could retain the gun if they determined it was used in a crime or if the serial numbers are removed.
Police would return the gun at the scene if they determined that the person was not an immediate threat or had not committed a violation that resulted in an arrest.
Sorrell said he’s opposed to allowing police to temporarily take guns and check them.

Does any of these lawyers study the law? Do any of them know anything about USSC rulings on such things?
Fucking clown shoes. It's embarrassing.
