All about guns, legislation and politics in New York
A-6762B, Relates to the dangers to the safety and health of the public caused by the sale, manufacturing, importing and marketing of firearms, has been amended and resubmitted to Assembly Codes. Companion S-7196 has been introduced to Senate Rules.
The last scheduled session day is Thursday. I believe the legislature will pass these bills before recess.

The legislative session is scheduled to end on the 10th. Here is some of what we can look forward to:
“… A bill that would make it easier for people to file civil lawsuits against firearm manufacturers would be the latest in a parade of gun control measures to be approved in Albany in recent years. The measure is one of several gun control-related bills the Legislature could take up in the coming days as gun control bills have moved through legislative committees in the lead-up to the final week of the session. The bill is under consideration in the final days of the session after lawmakers have recently sought to crack down on a range of illegal firearms in New York, including firearms printed using 3-D technology and a bill meant to restrict the flow of weapons lacking serial numbers …”
