JUSTIFICATION:

Though New York's gun control laws are among the strongest in the
nation, gun manufacturers continue to seek loopholes in both state and
federal law that would allow them to evade important requirements and
sell dangerous weapons to those seeking to use them to do harm.

Total BS and we all know it. Federal Law already prohibits this.

"Ghost guns" bills S-13A & S-14A have recalled from the Assembly, amended and restored to 3rd Reading.

Both amended bills passed the Senate.

WTF .. a gunsmith has nothing to do with it .. they are not making it ..

you need a class of FFL to be a damn gunsmith so you can have a pistol/rifle in your possession for a day or weeks .. that is not yours .. to fix a broken one ..

Lowes and home depot better have gunsmiths there to stamp all the plumbing items ..

More feel good bullshit.
Here is a wrinkle for them. There are engraving companies that sell unfinished engraved with whatever you want "80%s" for not really an excessive amount of money. If it comes to your door fully engraved how would they know if it predated the law or not?

In these new laws they use the phrase "person required to be a licensed gunsmith". I'm confused by the use of the word "required". Any ideas?

Ex:
265.01
(9) SUCH PERSON IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE A GUNSMITH LICENSED PURSUANT TO SECTION 400.00 OF THIS CHAPTER AND, KNOWING IT IS A GHOST GUN, SUCH PERSON POSSESSES A GHOST GUN...

265.07
(2) ... ANY PERSON REQUIRED TO BE A GUNSMITH LICENSED PURSUANT TO SECTION 400.00 OF THIS CHAPTER, WHO IS IN POSSESSION OF AN UNSERIALIZED FIREARM...

265.01
(From S13A) - Subdivision 10 criminalizes the possession of an unfinished frame or receiver by anyone other than a person required to be a licensed gunsmith.
