Everytown lobbying update

[gunpoliticsny]

Here’s the list of bills Everytown’s new lobbying firm has specifically advocated for so far this session:

• A-1191, Requires the Division of Criminal Justice Services to certify the technological viability of personalized handguns and to establish requirements related to the sale of personalized handguns.
• S-399, Makes it illegal for certain persons to possess or sell a pistol converter or a converted pistol.
• S-1289, Establishes the Office of Gun Violence Prevention and the Gun Violence Advisory Council.
• S-3385, Enacts “Francesco’s law” which establishes violations for the failure to safely store rifles, shotguns, and firearms in the presence of a minor or a prohibited person.

They also pushed for “funding for gun violence prevention”.

I admit, when I heard mom's demand action, my brain went in a whole other direction

This is outstanding news! I safely conceal my pistols that I have converted into personalized handguns for the purpose of violence prevention and personal protection, no matter in whose presence I may be. I’m very happy to hear that the government wants us all to be required to do the same!

Establishes the Office of Gun Violence Prevention and the Gun Violence Advisory Council.

This sounds like something that would be on the DOGE chopping block.

These bills are just painful to read. Did they not just copy and paste existing law, add a couple of things and send it as a new bill? Do they not know how to write a bill so it strikes certain sections and add new? I guess if they pass multiple laws for the same thing it makes it more illegal?

Makes it harder to throw the whole thing out with a Supreme Court win.

"Yeah, you killed S-3385, but S-<more bullshit> is still active so you still can't carry."

It's past time that, when a law banning an item or concept is voted down by the S.C., ANY law that enacts that same item or concept ban is automatically also cancelled.

And further attempts to make it illegal are considered illegal activity of the legislature subject to fines and/or imprisonment.
