US 2nd Amendment Under Assault, Freedom Firearms Guns Defense

[grarpamp]

Onslaught of flat out unconstitutional and does-nothing
bills crawling out of Beto's Democrat gun grabbers offices,
here's New York's latest pile of crap...

Meanwhile, after Democrat Chicago Mayor fails to cure
her own ghetto violence, another mental nutcase blows
away five in a hospital, because as with schools,
no security plus "gun free zones" = easy mass murder target.


New York Governor To Raise Age Limit For Semi-Automatic Rifle
Purchases, Ban Body Armor

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and top state lawmakers announced ten bills
that have been introduced in both the Assembly and Senate that would
tighten New York's gun laws following the mass shootings in Buffalo
and Texas.

The bills would raise the minimum age to purchase a semiautomatic
rifle to 21 years old from 18, prohibit the purchase of body armor for
anyone not eligible (NY tried to ban it last year), require a license
to buy a semiautomatic rifle, eliminate grandfathering of
large-capacity ammunition feeding devices (otherwise known as extended
magazines), strengthen the Red Flag law, and require new pistols to
include microstamping technology for tracing.

Gov. Hochul, Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, and Speaker Carl
Heastie announced the introduction of the ten new bills on Tuesday.
The bills are expected to gain traction as the public outcry for
lawmakers to do something increases after the recent mass shootings.

The legislative package includes:

    A.1023-A (Paulin)/S.4970-A (Kavanagh)

    Requires all state and local law enforcement agencies to report
seized or recovered guns to the criminal gun clearinghouse;
participate in ATFs collective data sharing program; test-fire seized
or recovered guns for national integrated Ballistic Information
Network; and, enter the make, model, caliber, and serial number of the
gun into the national crime information center. Also requires gun
dealers to implement a security plan for securing firearms, rifles and
shotguns; prohibit persons under eighteen and not accompanied by a
parent from the certain locations of a gun dealer's premises; provide
training to all employees on the conduct of firearm, rifle, and
shotgun transfers, including identification of and response to illegal
purchases; adhere to record keeping requirements; and require the
State police to conduct inspections of gun dealers every three years.

    A.6716-A (Wallace)/S89-B (Kaminsky):

    Creates the crimes of making a threat of mass harm and aggravated
making a threat of mass harm.

    A.7926-A (Rosenthal, L)/S.4116-A (Hoylman):

    Requires DCJS to certify or decline to certify that
microstamping-enabled pistols are technologically viable and if
certified as viable, to establish programs and processes for the
implementation of such technology; and, establishes the crime of the
unlawful sale of a non-microstamping-enabled firearm

    A7865-A (Fahy)/ S.4511-A (Kaplan):

    Requires social media networks in New York to provide a clear and
concise policy regarding how they would respond to incidents of
hateful conduct on their platform and maintain easily accessible
mechanisms for reporting hateful conduct on those platforms

    A.10428-A (People-Stokes)/S.9229-A (Hoylman):

    Eliminates the grandfathering of large capacity ammunition feeding
devices that were lawfully possessed prior to the enactment of the
Safe Act or manufactured prior to 1994.

    A. 10497 (Jacobson)/S.9407-B (Kavanagh):

    Makes unlawful the purchase and sale of body vests for anyone who
is not engaged in an eligible profession. Eligible professions include
law enforcement officers and other professions designated by the
Department of State in consultation with other agencies. Also requires
that any sale of a body vest be done in person.

    A.10501 (Meeks)/S. 9465 (Bailey)

    Creates a new Task Force on Social Media and Violent Extremism in
the Attorney General's office to study and investigate the role of
social media companies in promoting and facilitating violent extremism
and domestic terrorism online.

    A. 10502 (Cahill)/S. 9113-A (Skoufis):

    Expands who may file an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO)
petition to include health care practitioners who have examined the
individual within the last six months; requires police and district
attorneys to file ERPO petitions upon credible information that an
individual is likely to engage in conduct that would result in serious
harm to himself, herself or others; requires the State Police and the
Municipal Police Training Council to create and disseminate policies
and procedures to identify when an ERPO petition may be warranted;
amends the firearm licensing statute to make it clear that when an
individual has been reported by a mental health practitioner and a
county mental health commissioner has concurred with such practitioner
that the individual is likely to engage in conduct that would result
in serious harm to themself or others, such report is considered in
determining whether or not to issue a firearm license to the
individual; and, expands the mental health practitioners who can make
such reports.

    A10503 (Jackson)/S. 9458 (Thomas):

    Requires that an individual obtain a license prior purchasing a
semiautomatic rifle. This is prospective and applies to purchases made
on and after the effective date.

    A. 10504 (Burgos)/S. 9456 (Sepulveda)

    Expands the definition of a "firearm" to include any weapon not
defined in the Penal Law that is designed or may readily be converted
to expel a projectile by action of an explosive. This is intended to
capture firearms that have been modified to be shot from an arm brace,
which are evading our current definitions of firearms and rifles.

"Within the last month, two horrific mass shootings in Buffalo and
Texas have rattled this nation to our core and shed a new light on the
urgent need for action to prevent future tragedies," the governor
said.

    "New York already has some of the toughest gun laws in the country
but clearly we need to make them even stronger. New Yorkers deserve to
feel safe in schools, in grocery stores, in movie theaters, in
shopping malls, and on our streets -- and we must do everything in our
power to protect them. Working closely with Majority Leader
Stewart-Cousins, Speaker Heastie, and all of our partners in the
legislature, we will strengthen our gun laws, help keep New Yorkers
safe, give law enforcement the tools they need to prevent crime, and
stop the spread of dangerous weapons. As New York once again leads, we
continue to urge the federal government to seize this opportunity and
pass meaningful national gun violence prevention laws," the governor
continued.

"Just 10 days separated the mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde that
took the lives of 31 people. Nowhere else in the world is this
happening. We are in desperate need of a conversation about guns, but
we are also in desperate need of action." Speaker Carl Heastie said.

In a statement, chair of the New York State Republican Committee Nick
Langworthy responded to the governor's push for even stricter gun
laws, pointing out it doesn't even address America's mental health
crisis:

    "This package of bills does nothing to actually address the
underlying mental health crisis at the center of the problem or
invests in securing our schools. If Hochul and legislative leaders
cared about shooting victims, they would vote today to repeal their
disastrous bail laws that has turned our streets over to violent
criminals."

New Yorkers who already own a semiautomatic rifle or body armor will
be grandfathered in if the bills are passed. Other states would likely
follow New York's move. Also, Democrats in Washington, D.C., are
pushing bills to raise age limits to buy guns and ban high-capacity
magazines.

Podcaster Joe Rogan warned last week that Democrats are coming for
your guns and argued that criminals would be the only ones left with
firearms.
