Cuomo Calls Ammo Database A ‘Complicated Issue’

[Madmallard]

A stalled provision of the SAFE Act that would create a database of ammunition purchases is a “complicated issue” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a radio interview late last week.

The database has been put on hold since 2015 through a two-way memorandum of understanding reached by Cuomo and Senate Republicans, who held majority control of the chamber at the time.

Democratic Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins last week called on the governor’s administration to follow through with the creation of the database as Cuomo has pushed a four-point national platform for gun control that includes a ban on assault-style weapons, expanded background checks and a mental health database as well as a red-flag law.

But Cuomo, speaking with NPR, said both legal and technological issues remain. And he challenged lawmakers to develop their own ideas.

"Complicated issue" + Cuomo = Well there is the problem right there.

The same people who can't get the hunting and fishing license system to run smoothly expect to track every round of .22 sold.

Good luck, fellas.

 

[GOYABEAN]

typical political hack creating problems where none exists then trying to find solutions that will include millions of your tax payers dollars just hasn't figured out how to siphon his cut out of the program FUAC Karma is a motherfucker

 

[Podmonkey]

It's a very simple issue really. The NICS people said "fuck no" to unSAFE further burdening their system for NY's BS ammo checks and the NYSP told little lord fuck pants that there wasn't the funding for ammo checks in the NYS budget.

All of which is resultant from cuomo's shortsightedness and incompetence.

Gotta love a law not implemented 6.5 YEARS after being SO important that it had to be crammed through in the middle of the night with no public input and not enough time to actually read it.

 

[Deplorable Me]

With a brazillian rounds of ammo in NY, Andy can't count that high.

 

[Sneezy]

FUAC. I hope a box truck mows you down.

It would actually screw We the People. Imagine the Ammunition Background Check system finally comes to fruition.
As you pointed out, it runs as smoothly as the sporting licensing system.
You're standing there, wasting your time as some poor bastard from the store calls Prince Cumho's 1-800 number. The clerk hangs up the phone and turns to you, "I'm sorry sir, the system is down. I can't sell you this ammunition right now. You're welcome to come back and try again tomorrow."

FUAC!

[SomeSoldier]

Hahahahaha. I bit off more than I can chew. You legislators are free to fix the problem I caused if you like.

If laws apply to us then it should apply to the state. Either finish implementing the law or remove the law in its entirety.

 

[Defilade]

So now only a part of the law is valid and the rest when they get around to it? Are we going to make shit up as we go Cuomo? Maybe we shouldn't abide by this idiotic law until you get all your shit straight. Until then, Screw you and your so-called Safe-Act! Since it's such a message of necessity!

 

[Saltwater60]

I’ll just take about $2,000 to PA once a year or drive to TSUSA and buy out of nys. FU.

If we lived in a logical, civil, society, that alone would be reason to cancel any statute signed under such auspices.

 

[BDinPutnam]

I have a very simple, uncomplicated solution.

Leave.
Us.
The fuck.
Alone.
FUAC.

 

[GOPerfect]

Good, let this crap go through. Please.

Like many here, I will just travel to PA or West Virginia and pick up all my shooting needs. Let NY State lose out on all that tax revenue.

Think of the many that are not affected by the SAFE Act as of yet; they will be as soon as this passes.

Keep everyone on the same playing level.

why i learned to reload

 

[99cummins]

Complicated issue...I think they misspelled clusterfuck.

 

[Hillbilly77]

why i learned to reload

Yup, me too.
.22LR is the only factory ammo I buy.

 

[misunderestimated]

the worst part is that this POS legislations, restricts my ability to purchase on line, Only a few vendors will take a chance.

PA is your better bet. I do believe that "across the counter" ammo sales in CT require you to hold a CT pistol permit or "ammunition certificate" issued by the state. I'm not sure of the nuances though.
