Anti-Gun Bills Flood New York State Assembly

Numerous anti-gun bills are slated to be voted on as early as Monday,
April 14, in the New York State Assembly. The National Shooting Sports
Foundation - the trade association of the firearms industry - and the
New York State Association of Firearms Retailers are encouraging all
sportsmen, gun owners and firearms enthusiasts to contact your state
assembly member immediately, urging them to oppose these anti-gun bills.

Below is a listing of all the bills that could be taken up on the floor.
Please review and familiarize yourself with them.

Assembly Bill 6525A, sponsored by State Assemblywoman Amy Paulin (D-88),
would create new sales and reporting requirements for licensed firearms
dealers and require dealers to carry a minimum of $1,000,000 of
liability insurance.

Assembly Bill 9819A, authored by State Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel
(D-16), would seek to ban the sale of semi-automatic handguns not
equipped with so-called "microstamping" technology. The bill requires
all semiautomatic pistols sold in the state to microstamp an array of
characters that identify the make, model and serial number of the pistol
on the firing pin, which would copy the characters onto the cartridge
case upon firing.

Assembly Bill 7331, sponsored by State Assemblyman Matthew Titone
(D-61), would expand the ban on semi-automatic assault weapons, as
well as require the ballistic fingerprinting(registration) of all
semi-automatic assault weapons owned prior to a specified date.

Assembly Bill 3451, introduced by State Assemblyman David Koon (D-135),
would expand New Yorks failed ballistic imaging program even after a
study by the National Academy Sciences was released stating it does not
work to solve crimes.

Assembly Bill 2772, authored by State Assemblywoman Patricia Eddington
(D-3), would ban the sale, use or possession of any firearm with a bore
diameter .50 caliber or larger. This bill would require gun owners in
possession of these firearms to surrender them to law enforcement.

Assembly Bill 829, sponsored by State Assemblyman Steve Englebright
(D-4), would prohibit the sale of any handgun that doesnt contain a
childproofing device or mechanism incorporated into the design of the
handgun.

Assembly Bill 76, sponsored by State Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg
(D-20), would require the mandatory storage of all firearms.

Assembly Bill 3447, introduced by State Assemblyman David Koon (D-135),
would ban the sale or possession of frangible ammunition.

Assembly Bill 9543, authored by State Assemblyman Michael Gianaris
(D-36), would require purchasers of antique firearms to undergo a
background check.

I see all of these bills are sponsored by democrats. Do these idiots know what they are sponsoring, or do they just take the word of the anti-gun crowd and put those lies into bills "for the good of the people?"

Though I would bet the bulk are Dimocrats the "D-number" is a district number. I checked out the Assembly's home page and found it interesting that without REALLY digging down, it's difficult to find out what party they belong to...

In either case I didn't see one bill there that had anything to do with reality or "real" safety concerns.. Just another bunch of gun grabbing legislation attempts ...

I find the 50 cal bill interesting... "any firearm with a bore diameter .50 caliber or larger. This bill would require gun owners in possession of these firearms to surrender them to law enforcement." And whom is going to reimburse these unfortunate individuals for the cost of the gun and associated components should this bill pass???

Democrats or Republicans, doesn't matter, they are ALL liberals who need to move to a socialist country to "feel at home"....

Ken....
