The following anti-gun bills have been referred to various committees in
the New York State Senate and Assembly and are awaiting action. Please
take the time to contact your lawmakers and urge them to oppose the
following list of anti-gun bills:

Assembly Bill 801A and its Senate companion, S 1598A, would require
five-year renewals on pistol licenses.
Assembly Bill 1093 and its Senate companion, S 1715, would create
liability for legal firearm retailers when criminals misuse firearms.
Assembly Bill 1275 and its Senate companion, S 1712, would outlaw the
private sale and transfer of long guns.
Assembly Bill 1326 and its Senate companion, S 5228, would outlaw all
handguns sold in the state not equipped with so-called "child-proofing"
measures.
Assembly Bill 2881 and its Senate companion, S 2379, would ban the sale
of common self-defense and hunting ammunition.
Assembly Bill 2884 would prohibit gun shows on public property.
Assembly Bill 2885 and Assembly Bill 2910 would establish standards for
guns sold in the state and would allow the state police to prevent ANY
firearm they deem unsafe from being transferred into the state.
Assembly Bill 3200 and its Senate companion, S 2953, would require
ammunition coding or bullet serialization.
Assembly Bill 3346 would outlaw affordable handguns commonly used for
self-defense.
Assembly Bill 3477 and its Senate companion, S 1188, would expand the
failed 10-year-old, ballistic imaging program to include even more
firearms.
Assembly Bill 4441 and its Senate companion, S 4338, would prohibit the
manufacture, sale or transfer of handguns not equipped with so-called
"smart gun" technology.
Assembly Bill 5844 and its Senate companion, S 3098, would prohibit
keeping firearms available for self-defense in the home.
Assembly Bill 6157 and Assembly Bill 6294 and their Senate companion, S
4084, would drastically expand the state's ban on so-called "assault
weapons" to include virtually all semi-automatic rifles and pistols that
can accept detachable magazines.
Assembly Bill 6468B and its Senate companion, S 6005, would outlaw the
sale of all semi-automatic handguns not equipped with so-called
"microstamping" technology.
Senate Bill 4752 would ban certain firearms based upon bore diameter.
On a positive note, during one of the state's worst fiscal crises, the
NRA would like to highlight worthwhile legislation. Assembly Bill 5427
and Assembly Bill 6388 and their Senate companion, S 1152, seek to
eliminate the state's ballistic imaging database (COBIS). New York
taxpayers should be outraged that over the last decade nearly 50 million
dollars have been spent on this supposed crime-fighting tool that has
resulted in ZERO prosecutions.

Call your lawmakers and urge them to support A 5427, A 6388 and S 1152
and do away with this wasteful program TODAY. Also, politely remind
them that many of the NRA-opposed bills listed above will cost millions
of taxpayer dollars, and like COBIS, without reducing crimes.
