Anti-Freedom Bills Pending Action in Albany
Two anti-gun bills are currently making their way through the New York Legislature. Introduced earlier this week was
Senate Bill 1598, sponsored by State Senator Eric Schneiderman (D-31). This legislation targets law-abiding pistol license holders by requiring licenses be renewed every five years and would mandate that all applicants outside New York City complete training and a test before a license may be issued.
Next week, the Senate Codes Committee will consider legislation,
Senate Bill 1069, that will give the State Police broad authority to outlaw firearms based what they look like, how they are assembled, the materials they are made with and whether they are "readily" detectable by "standard security equipment."
Please call your lawmakers TODAY and urge them to oppose S1589/A801 and S1069/AB4057.
