State Sen. Michael Gianaris crafting package of bills to give New York the nation's toughest gun laws - NY Daily News
- Limit handgun purchases to 1 per month
- 10 day waiting period for firearms purchases
- background checks for all gun sales
- All AMMO and firearms sales must be reported to NYS DOCriminal Services within 24 hours
- Ammo sales to permitted dealers only (no internet sales I imagine)
- Safety Courses
"New York has more than our fair share of gun violence, and there's no reason why we shouldn't be leading the nation in providing for the safety of our citizens," Gianaris said.His slate of bills is in addition to measures already pending before the Legislature - a ban on assault weapons; a requirement for cartridge-case microstamping to help solve gun crimes; and a measure to strengthen laws providing for guns to have child-safety locks.
Gianaris has worked on the legislative plan over the past several weeks along with the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, a leading national gun control advocacy group. Each year, the Brady Center ranks states according to its gun-control laws. Last year, New York's laws placed as fourth toughest, trailing California, New Jersey and Massachusetts.
Gianaris said his proposals are designed to remedy areas where the Brady Center gave New York low marks.
