New York Senate Dems take aim at bump stocks in package of nine gun control bills

[Madmallard]

Calling gun violence a “national epidemic,” state Senate Democrats Tuesday unveiled a package of gun control bills.

The nine-bill package would ban bump stock devices that increase rate of fire like the one used in the Las Vegas mass shooting. It would also establish extreme risk orders of protection, prohibit anyone convicted of a hate crime from possessing firearms, expand the time for background checks, and create a firearm violence research initiative.

“Enacting this common sense legislation will help save lives by keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals and banning tools to make legal guns more dangerous,” said Senate Democratic Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D-Yonkers).

But chances of passage are low given the Republicans remain in control of the chamber and have not passed a gun control bill since the adoption of Gov. Cuomo’s 2013 SAFE Act.

We bitch and moan here, but simple searches show the Republican NYS Senate stops dozens of these anti 2A crap proposals every session. We will be totalled F'ed if the Repubics lose their slim majority, as it is we still get screwed when FUAC gets riled enough to bribe, extort, or blackmail enough RINOs to get a precious to FUAC bill past the senate.

Every time I see a NY politicians attach “common sense” to “gun control law”, I add them to my list of “drink a celebratory beer if I read about their death” people.

This is funny. Like the safe act was minor.

Do Tide Pods come in suppository form now?

 

[oc shooter]

NY dem's are out of control but they control most of the state and I don't trust the republicans at all

 

[Burzum]

Hmmm "common sense" gun control to me means rounding up every gun rights-hater and shipping them off to North Korea to live in a gun free paradise.

NY has republicans in Albany?

 

[Defilade]

Geez give up on the Guns already and concentrate on saving much more lives, you know like Medical Malpractice Deaths!

 

[Shadow2]

"Hate Crime" to these tools everyone is a racist, bigot ect ... so at some point everyone will be prohibited ... No thank you. I could care less about bump stocks but cant trust those tools to craft a law that wouldn't be misused.

 

[Shadow2]

Le me get in on this ... id negotiate a bump stock ban when they remove the features ban that does nothing.

does that mean you trust the dems ?

I' d negotiate a bump stock if they dumped the crap act and supported the 2nd amendment

 

[Darth]

I'd just flat not negotiate.

What have they compromised on again?

And no, taking 95% of what they wanted away instead of 100% is not a compromise.

 

[Shadow2]

Courts have done nothing so its about the only option safe is here to stay other wise.

I'd just flat not negotiate.

And no, taking 95% of what they wanted away instead of 100% is not a compromise.

 

[Kwalsh]

So your telling me bumpstocks are legal in NY?

 

[Modean]

So your telling me bumpstocks are legal in NY?

Legal to buy and own. Not legal to install it on your rifle.

 

[Bozo]

I note the newspapers failed to mention the bill that would allow gnu manufacturers to be sued, and the one that says the Feds can have 10 days instead of 3 for a background check delay. THESE are the idiots in our Senate - it's not that they do not understand the US Constitution's Supremacy Clause. They simply do not care. A rope for them all...

 

[fartgamer]

I feel so warm and fuzzy knowing the Republicans are in control of the Senate.
