These clowns love making laws that already exist. Didn't they pass legislation last year regarding pistol converters? Doesn't the current NY ammo background check already prohibit prohibited persons from buying ammo?

Prohibits the purchase of ammunition if such purchaser failed a background check

i thought that was already law with the ammo background check

they need to make a double law now ..

LMFAO

Relates to prohibiting the possession of certain .50 caliber firearms.

Hmm... I wonder how many crimes have been committed using a .50 cal.
I suspect an ulterior motive as to why they want to ban a caliber that can shoot through engine blocks and hit a target 2 miles away.

Because these laws will definitely work this time and there’s no way criminals could circumvent them…..

Because they are scary sniper weapons. They have tried this for the last 10 years with no success. I am kind of shocked they have not gotten it though as it really would not have any impact (or bitching) from the average person. Its specifically tailored for 50BMG with the muzzle energy requirement.
Interesting enough .338 Lapua is perfectly fine even though its been verified at 2400 meters
