Package Of Gun Reform Bills Passes NY Senate (merged with Assembly thread)

[Madmallard]

A package of gun reform bills, including giving the public the ability to sue gun manufacturers and a 10-day mandatory purchase waiting period, was passed this week by the New York State Senate.
Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, D-Yonkers, said the Senate Democratic majority has prioritized ending gun violence and making homes and streets safer.

The bills still have to be passed by the Assembly. How important is gun reform to New Yorkers?

I’m sure the bad guys will be willing to wait the 10 days before getting their gun.

She seems super confident in this important legislation.

From the article:
"By enacting this important legislation, we take another step closer towards further ending gun violence."

This is almost somewhat not-quite kind-of just about unlikely to solve the problem.

Correct. I'm currently not following nor paying attention to any such new laws. Lost cause.

Gun reform or civil rights oppression?

Didn’t the 9th Circuit court say cooling off waiting periods are unconstitutional if the person has a gun already? If so once this law is signed it needs to be challenged with that court case as exhibit #1..

The same exact thing.

I wonder how this effects airsoft rifles. Probably for current owners -- not at all. This seems to pertain to the sale and distribution of imitation weapons -- section 871 of business law, which reads:

Article 39-B. Imitation Weapons

871. Definitions

1. "Firearm" as used in this section shall have the same meaning as that term is defined by subdivision three of section 265.00 of the penal law and shall include machine guns, rifles and shotguns as those terms are defined by subdivisions one, eleven and twelve, respectively, of section 265.00 of the penal law.

2. "Imitation weapon" means any device or object made of plastic, wood, metal or any other material which substantially duplicates or can reasonably be perceived to be an actual firearm, air rifle, pellet gun, or "B-B" gun; unless such imitation weapon (a) is colored other than black, blue, silver or aluminum, (b) is marked with a non-removable orange stripe which is at least one inch in width and runs the entire length of the barrel on each side and the front end of the barrel, and (c) has a barrel at least one inch in diameter that is closed for a distance of not less than one-half inch from the front-end of its barrel with the same material of which the imitation weapon is made. "Imitation weapon" does not include any nonfiring replica of an antique firearm, the original of which was designed, manufactured and produced prior to eighteen hundred ninety-eight.

872. Prohibitions

No person, firm, corporation or agent or employee thereof shall import, manufacture, sell, hold for sale or distribute within the state any imitation weapon unless such device is imported, manufactured, sold, held for sale and distributed: 1. solely for subsequent transportation in interstate commerce; or Page 327 2. solely for lawful use in a theatrical production, including a motion picture, television or stage production.

873. Enforcement

Whenever the attorney general shall believe from evidence satisfactory to him that any person, firm, corporation or association or agent or employee thereof has violated any provision of this article, he may bring an action or special proceeding in the supreme court for a judgment enjoining the continuance of such violation and for a civil penalty of not more than one thousand dollars for each violation. If it shall appear to the satisfaction of the court or justice that the defendant has violated any provision of this article, no proof shall be required that any person has been injured thereby nor that the defendant knowingly or intentionally violated such provision. In such action preliminary relief may be granted under article sixtythree of the civil practice law and rules. In connection with any such proposed application, the attorney general is authorized to take proof, issue subpoenas and administer oaths in the manner provided in the civil practice law and rules.

So even if they do update this, this pertains merely to future sales -- it has nothing to do with possession since this is business law, not penal law.

THIS JUST IN...

NY Legislators are Outlawing Dashboard Jesuses, Thus taking another step closer toward further ending drunk driving!

NY is not a lost cause.

NY is not a lost cause.

LOL, oh yes it is, this state is toast. In 2013 everyone said "we'll fight, we'll get the safe act over turned, it will take some time....blah,blah,blah"

Guess what is never going away, ya, the Safe Act. Guess what is getting worse, GUN LAWS

BUT the gun law are only a fraction of whats wrong with this corrupt state, its the taxes and regulations and asshole like cuomo that make the state unlivable.

New Yorkistan is done as a free and independent place to live. There are at least 23 "better" states thats are PRO-2A

 

[Jmac00]

I wonder when they are going to make Fists and Feet illegal ??? Im sure Asians will be happy id that passes

 

[gunpoliticsny]

Things will continue to get worse until 2A activists and the groups which allegedly represent them get involved with Democrat politics. There are opportunities for that in primaries this month. No-one is even talking about elections because that requires actual research and thought both of which are lacking in our representative organizations.

Keeping guns as partisan Republican issue will doom 2A in the state.

 

[alistair]

How does any of this prevent gun violence? ... ... Give the Left what they want a 100% ban on guns, we still will have mass shootings and drive-by drug and gang shootings.

When the safe crap started, back then some of us saw early on that it wasn't going away. You didn't need to look any further than the sullivan act to realize it. 1911! What a terrible ride it was. Remember the Desmonds? Ugh. It's time to move on guys.

Alot of members (not I) are pretty up there in age. They don't have the time for what you suggest here and would just like to improve their life some in a reasonable time frame. Hell I don't have the time to change hearts and minds and I already live in a free state. I already know there are those that will simply never change their mind on 2A so I don't bother. Why would anyone stay and "fight" when they can literally move a few miles away and have everything they want?

Because if you think this insanity ends at the border of a state you don't understand.
This thinking is a cancer. It WILL metastasize to other states. Even ones you think are free.
It needs to be fought here. Now. And wherever else this pops up.

It requires negligible effort to start turning things around. For the primary put an alert and copy the LCA encouraging members & supporters to vote against Eric Adams in NYC, Kathy Sheehan in Albany and Lovely Warren in Rochester based upon them fucking us over in public. Hardly anyone shows up for party primaries so we have a reasonable chance at sinking their campaigns. It will make gun control a poison issue.

That's the same (and untrue) trope that we've been hearing for years now when in reality states are becoming more and more free when it comes to 2A. Can you tell me where it has "spread"?
