Assembly Leaders Call on Senate, Governor to Stop Blocking
Common-Sense Anti-Gun Violence Measures

Silver Urges Putting Public Safety Before NRA Interest

Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Codes Committee Chair Joseph Lentol today announced the Assembly passed a comprehensive package of bills aimed at stopping the type of gun violence that has taken the lives of some 7,000 New Yorkers since 1999.

Calling for the Senate to set aside their "unwavering allegiance to the NRA and act in the best interest of New York's children and families," Silver said the Assembly plans to launch the opening day of the 2006 legislative session by adopting a series of measures to prevent guns from being diverted from the legal stream of commerce to individuals who are not legally entitled to possess life-threatening weapons.

Further down the page are 9 new restrictive gun laws to "Make the Streets Safer."


Please don't overlook the part where the Assault Weapon ban encompasses nearly all weapons.

Nor overlook the part where almost all ammunition is now banned.

Nor the part where all guns will require at least a 10 pound trigger pull.

By god, none of my dozen guns meet that criteria!

Making a law criminalizing criminal behavior that is already against the law is like making a law repealing gravity to prevent people from falling down. Of course this IS ny being discussed. They were stupid enough to elect hillary.

Yup I am betting Mr Crack dealer is realy scared now. This law will shurly stop him from getting that new assault weapon he was eyeing.

Cracking Down on Illegal Street Gun Trafficking (A.9280/Paulin)
Noting that one percent of gun dealers account for more than half of the legal guns that make their way into the illegal market, Silver said it was important to enact a comprehensive program to stop illegal guns from falling into the hands of criminals through commercial gun dealers. To that end, this bill not only takes aim at illegal trafficking but also imposes penalties on legal gun dealers guilty of dumping guns into the illegal market.

you mean to tell me there isnt already a law that punishes gun dealers for dumping their guns into the illegal market?

Make new York City a state. Nothing but tax increases and more regualtions. NYC is like a bad apple that ruins it for the rest.

Oh come on guys, we all know that the preferred weapon of choice for drug dealers and Convenience store robbers is the legally purchased Barrett Model 50. Nothing says "Bust a Cap" like MISTAH FIDDY BMG.

Which is a bigger threat to a Politician? His friendly dealer, who happens to have a tec-9
or an unhappy constituant with a .50

I'm sure you realise they would ban those too, once they take some lives. Simply because they aren't dangerous until they are used... in hands that they should not be in.

It has nothing to do with actual protection, which is anti-American in itself,  but feel good bull****.

I would just like to convey that these bills passed from feel good bull**** into full out gun bans...

[Hangtime]

Already sent a nastygram upstate. They pass this and our last 2 public ranges fold... and I'm outta here a lil soooner than I'd originally planned.

Be damned if i'll stay once they cut off my ammo supply.

[Jackal1]

What a moronic mastermind. If people are actualy stupid enough to buy into a load of crap like this, then I have a few bridges I can let go of cheap.

[lasersailor184]

Wow, for once I am actually dissapointed with you guys.


All these bills PASSED on January 9th.

Though not all take effect right away.
