In NY

There is no system in place to do the background checks on ammo mandated by the SAFE act. Why, it’s like they just threw this thing together with no plan.

    Sounds like they threw a feel good plan together. You know the kind that is always defeated; except this time it was not defeated, and the proponents are standing around dicks in hand trying to figure out what to do.

    Actually, that’s the plan. No system for ammo background checks is a feature, not a bug.

    Just like microstamping, SmartGunz, sample of fired case, etc.

    Because mandating an enforcement mechanism adds a physical cost to legislation and often will get a bill killed. This way, they can pass a bad bill into bad law and figure out a way to pay for it later.

    Sort of like how Obamacare “paid” for the hospitals but not the doctors when it was passed to make the numbers jive.

    The Sen, this law was written in secret in a back room in Albany by a cabal of the governor and a handful of his legislative cronies. It was introduced into the (barely) Republican controlled State Senate in a late night session, with a “letter of necessity” by the Governor which suspended the normal 3 business day comment period between introducing a bill and the first vote. The Senators had approximately 30 to 40 minutes to read the bill before it was voted on. It was then passed by the Democrat controlled Assembly the next day, and signed by the Governor that afternoon.

    All told, there were approximately 19 hours between when it was first introduced and when the governor signed it into law.

    I like to tell people that even if you completely agree with every single measure of the NY SAFE Act, and more, the manner in which it was introduced and signed into law is so slimy and anti-democratic that it should be denounced and repealed just on that basis.

    They thought they could use NICS.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
