Advocates, legislators urge support for gun safety bills

[Madmallard]

The bills include a prohibition on “ghost guns” by requiring self-manufactured firearms to have engraved serial numbers, establishing a statewide ammunition database, requiring manufacturers to include GPS technology on guns and establishing funding to develop personalized handgun technology for all firearms.

The earlier bills also include a provision that would require gun owners to have at least $250,000 in liability insurance, money which would be used to compensate victims of gunfire.

You need insurance to purchase a home or to operate a vehicle, Ortiz noted, so mandating liability insurance for gun owners is common sense.

“Let’s mandate that gun owners have liability insurance to be accountable and responsible for their weapons,” he said.

This year, the assemblyman introduced an additional bill that creates a commission to monitor performance and safety criteria for personalized guns.

“I feel it’s very important for New York to stand up and develop policies that really will address the cancer of this issue,” Ortiz said. “It’s very important that we be able to save lives.”

Good thing they work in government, any one in the real world would laugh their aresses off at such a waste of suggestions. Probably be relieved from company duty and asked to never come back.

I prefer a decocker.

The only thing I got out of that speech was stay the fuck out of Brooklyn. Just because that asshole cant control his own borough doesn't mean we all need to deal with his inability keep his streets safe. Maybe he should go back to his birthplace in Puerto Rico and see if he can make a difference there.

What happens when ALL "self manufactured guns" (Hello, you have reached Cyberdyne Systems, how may I direct your call?) have a serial number of FUAC1? That will undoubtedly facilitate the tracking effort. Oh, wait. It's not the gun that's being tracked? Sorry, my bad...

I have yet to see Felikes Doritos introduce a single piece of legislation to cut down on the cancer of gang violence enveloping the Rotting Apple and other urban areas. Of course, the last thing Felikes Doritos will do is jail more black and brown youtes for criminal behavior. It is easier to write laws and create white criminals out of upstate gun owners, who won't be able to vote against Felikes Doritos so he will be safe in his gubbmint job stealing from the taxpayers while polishing Gubbiner Munkeyfaces nuts..........

No you stupid piece of shit, you only need to insure a house IF you barrow money and that is a lender based regulation NOT GVMT!
You also do not need insurance to purchase a car, but you do need it or a bond to drive on PUBLIC roads. BTW neither of the two examples are RIGHTS! What a frickin moron. If or when this comes to being then I will be a felon. I WILL NOT COMPLY!
