The bills propose to require the exchange of information between state, local and federal authorities whenever a gun is used in a crime. The bill A.6716-A/S89-B would make threatening mass harm a crime and bill A.7926-A/S.4116-A would require New York’s Criminal Justice Services to investigate whether microstamping-enabled pistols are technologically viable.
Further, the bill A.10428-A/S.9229-A eradicates the grandfathering of large-capacity ammunition feeding devices that were lawfully possessed prior to the enactment of New York’s Safe Act in 2013 or manufactured prior to 1994, prohibiting their possession entirely. Another bill, A. 10504 / S. 9456, proposes to broaden the definition of “firearm” to include “firearms that have been modified to be shot from an arm brace.”
Bill A10503/S. 9458 would increase the minimum age limit to buy a semiautomatic rife from 18 to 21 and would require that an individual obtains a license prior to purchasing a semiautomatic rifle.
