NY Assemblyman Phillip Steck introduces a
BILL BEING PROPOSED TO BAN AMMO PURCHASES OUT OF STATE
"New York State Attorney General Firearms Enforcement act"
Assembly Bill - A08443 (No same as)
NY Assemblyman Phillip Steck wants you to be prosecuted if you legally
(under the laws of 49 states and federal law) buy ammo in another state.
As many of us have unhappily experienced, NY State now requires a
background check on purchases of ammunition which has resulted in
frequent and unnecessary delays. Many NY residents, with easy access to
another state, have chosen to cross the border for ammunition purchases
and bypass the NY background check and related fee (a reaction not
unexpected by anyone).
Imagine, for a moment, that NY State passed a law setting the maximum
speed limit at 55 mph everywhere in NY State. Afterwards, a NY State
resident, having driven a legal 65 mph in Pennsylvania, is prosecuted
for exceeding the NY speed limit... wait... what!?!?!
Under Assemblyman Steck’s bill, the NY Attorney General can bring civil
and criminal actions in NY State courts against any NY State resident or
the ammunition seller in another state, when ammunition is purchased in
another state and it does not go through NY State’s background check.
For example, a NY State resident in Waverly NY drives a couple miles
south into Sayre PA and buys ammunition without undergoing a NY
background check. NY Attorney General (Leticia James) can have him and
the seller arrested, in NY State.
If this bill were to become law, a NY State snow birder in Florida buys
ammunition in Florida, without a NY background check, and uses it there.
Leticia James could come after him and the seller under A8443.
By the way, it is such a bureaucratic minefield to get licensed to use
the NY background system so an ammunition seller in another state has
little incentive to do it.
One of the reasons that the Articles of Confederation were abandoned in
favor of the U S Constitution was interstate issues.
The founders knew that a federal government was necessary to handle
interstate issues. But even in the 1780’s, who would have imagined a
Phillip Steck?
Article I Section 8 of the U S Constitution says that the U S Congress
regulates interstate commerce. Assemblypersons take an oath of office
to, “support the Constitution of the United States..” Can we anticipate
an impeachment proceeding against Assemblyman Steck for violating his
oath of office?
FYI, the related parts of the bill are as follows: A08443
“The (NY State) attorney general shall have the power and duty to...Seek
and obtain injunctive relief to prevent any individual seller of
firearms or retail firearms dealer from knowingly selling ammunition to
a resident of the state of New York or to an individual who purchases
ammunition on behalf of a New York state resident without contacting the
New York state police for authorization pursuant to section two hundred
twenty-eight of this chapter and any other law, rule or regulation. “
“The attorney general shall have the power to enforce the provisions of
this section by bringing civil and criminal actions in the state courts
of New York.”
I am asking you *please* let your Assembly people and Senators know you
oppose this bill as should anyone who truly believes in the U S
Constitution.
I know you deeply value the freedoms, rights and privileges we enjoy as
American citizens.
