Legislative update for April 7:

• The topic of having a mandatory waiting period before taking possession of a newly acquired firearm was discussed in legislative committees today.
• S-9827, Relates to the regulation of three-dimensional printed firearms, has been introduced to Codes as a companion to A-1777A.

Waiting periods are so dumb. Maybe, MAYBE, they have an effect on a first-time gun buyer. But certainly no benefit in relation to the purported purpose of these waiting periods.

(We all know the real purpose is to impose more hurdles to jump over and hoops to jump through for law-abiding gun owners).

Agreed! I have other guns so the waiting period means nothing for me. I can’t wait just crack the safe open and get what I need.

I just do not get these idiots. Is the bulk of this not already law or packed into the executive budget which will surely pass?

I use to think they were idiots, too. Until i finally realized that WE are the idiots who just let this bullshit continue.

If it weren't for all of the jumping through hoops to acquire firearms in New York, I'd never get any exercise.

So.... if a law-abiding citizen already has two firearms that were legally acquired under federal and New York State law, why is a waiting period needed for them to acquire a third or fourth firearm? Safety? Nah... they've already got two firearms that they could use for "no good" and the state knows that. Thus, this is just more liberal progressive pablum.

Whatever it is, its still not infringement.
