I'll be honest, I'm not 100% opposed to training requirements, I mean for me personally I like more range time(who doesn't?). Also, if I know people are gonna conceal carry in my state/county/etc, they SHOULD be proficient to a degree but if we're gonna make training a requirement, then there should be reciprocity then or a CCW permit that's honored by EVERY state. The social media monitoring could be a slippery slope I think. Let's be real, the MAJORITY of the gun violence and crimes involving firearms are perpetrated by individuals who #1 don't have a permit and #2 acquired their weapons illegally(i.e. stolen, unregistered, scratched off serial number, etc.). What does that mean? um...that they are criminals, they don't obey the law to begin with. So...how does increasing controls over those who DO follow the law of the land mitigate gun violence? That's what frustrates me with this state smh.

I do have a problem with training requirements. Either it's a right or it isn't. People don't have to be trained in debate or opine their thoughts. Or prove they even have a clue who the candidates running are or what they stand for in order to vote. Even the stupid are allowed to vote and express their political views as is proven every day on the internet. A right is a right and can not be attached to arbitrary limitations.

Having said that I wholeheartedly wish every gun owned learned gun safety and was proficient with their firearms. I have seen unsafe handling at ranges and it concerns me. And it breaks my heart whenever I hear of a child or innocent killed by accident.

Lose the FOID and gain suppressors. Now that would be fantastic!

Wow...no way they can target people with this.

edit:

Hypothetically they can target people who buy X number of rounds. For instance, 1000 rnds of 9mm might seem like a lot to some or not much to others...goto the range once or twice a week that is potentially a small supply. To the Feds it might be a the ammount to trigger a flag/warning of some sort.

edited to clarify my point, it was ambiguous before.

1k is not a lot. A couple range trips. I don't like to dip much below this per caliber that way I'm not SOL if the shit ever does hit the fan.

I whole heartedly agree. My concern is they would put arbitrary 'limits' on ammo purchases which would trigger a 'flag' of some sort. If you buy more than X number you get flagged, or X per year etc. 1000 is nothing. But to the state it might be enough to put you on a list. Knowing the state they probably don't care about caliber just total bullets sold.

Why the hell should the state know how much ammo you own or have bought? It is none of their business.

Why do they need to collect this information? It is only for their interest, not they law abiding citizens best interest in mind.

I've carried more than 1,000 rounds out of a sporting goods store with one hand. Not that I would ever run bulk ammo, but a bucket of bulk .22 LR for plinking holds more than 1,000 rounds...and also comes with a carrying handle.....

OK I'm practically numb from an after golf nap and old age . I can't find any reference to 1000 rounds as in limit or anything. Help an old guy out

What did they do?

[chowser51]

lol. I ordered 4k rounds of 357sig one day and couldn't wait. then went to a local gunstore and bought out their stock, it was only 2100 rounds. no gov't visit yet. that was two weeks ago.

"New York is now requiring him under the new law to record information about any ammo purchases. That includes not just the customer's name, address, date of birth, and type and quantity of ammunition, but also their occupation." <--You have to give them your diver's license. They track every bullet you buy.


"come next September of 2023 the state, once it actually pays for a workable database system, will start requiring a background check for people purchasing ammunition."

Imagine getting a HOLD on the ammo you are trying to buy to hunt with that weekend. Or you need the ammo to sight in your new scope you bought.


"starting in December under state business law, gun dealers will have to keep their ammunition for sale in locked display cabinets."




It feels like to me this is NY getting back at lawful gun owners after VERY publicly losing: New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen <--which again could affect MANY other states.




My comment about 1k rounds is you know they will have alarms/alerts in place based on quantity purchased. If they did not why take down so much information EVERY time you buy ammo. That is just how the state/fed is. They want to know who is buying 10k rounds of X. Wouldn't want you to start arming your own militia. At some point you bought too much ammo in a certain time period you will get flagged. Mark my words. They are not recording all this information for your health. It is so they have an idea of how much ammo and of what caliber weapons that your own. Cops come to you house. They pull you up on their computer before knocking on the door(or knocking it down) Well we know he bought: shotguns shells, 9mm, 556, 308, etc. so we have a good idea of all the firearms he potentially might own.

They do not know what firearms you have purchased. But they know what ammo.




Is ammo part of the right to bear arms? I would say 100%. Can't do much with a gun and no ammo. But has SCOTUS said it yet? I see this is all because they know they can't take your guns, but they can make you buying ammo a PITA. I am amazed there is no bullet tax to pay for victims of gun related crimes/death. That way they could tax each 9mm bullet for $10. Can't get you to not own weapons but they can make it so prohibitively expensive that the average person can't afford it.

[Theruleslawyer]

Tracking is always a precursor to confiscation at best. The ATF knocking down your door and killing your dog then spending time in prison on a dubious charge on the other.

FN FDE Friday redux! Just got a new authentic optic in. Didn’t want you all to really think I was running the knockoff on her. I opted for the 4x with a green Chevron and RMR on top. I like this better than the canted sights I’ve tried. Looking forward to a fun weekend!

The Peoples Republik of Kommiefornyastan does that now. The only exceptions are CCW holders and if the person purchased a firearm within the last 5 years.

Yes I did read it twice. There is nothing in the article about 1000 rounds. Kinda not nice to imply we are stupid because we missed something you are expecting them to do that isn't in the article.

Yes I agree that state is not to be trusted with any information regarding what firearms we buy or what ammo we buy. I would not live there. I lived in Cali back when you could actually buy a real AR15 and 30 round mags. But the writing was on the wall. When I retired I left California with 4 primary requirements for where I would live.

1) 2nd A friendly
2) reasonable housing
3) golf weather year round
4) At least a chance someone I vote for gets elected

Sadly number 2 is gone and number 4 has been watered down by other California transplants that brought their leftist voting habits with them.

When I went to the gun show, the line was too long around the oasis of ammo one company had. People were in line like it was a candy store, and when they got to the front of the line they handed over the RealID, then placed their order. A guy then ran and picked out what they asked for as the cashier rang their order up, after the RealID had been swiped.

Needless to say, I didn't come home with any ammo that day.

More fuckery

"Many of the banks and credit card companies in question are based in New York." OK so just buy all firearms with cash? Just more bullshit for legal gun owners to deal with. It is clear they want to document and track the firearms and ammo you buy. How can this possibly make people safer? I guess if they track this all in a database they can then make up arbitrary limits before accounts get flagged and someone comes knocking on your door to do a 'wellness check'

This truly pisses me off.

Just read about 'cold' tracers - being indoor range friendly, etc.
Anyone ever tried them?
I'm guessing cleaning the barrel after is still a good idea
