Well, I wasn't going to mention it...But the new York State Legislature has been busy...Here's an abstract from my senator...

Today, we also passed a major package of gun control legislation. Some of you may remember that last year, after the mass shooting in Las Vegas, I bought a bump stock off the internet. I wanted to know how easy it was to get your hands on one in New York. It turned out to be shockingly easy.
Not anymore. We banned them today.
Here’s what else we passed:

• Extreme Risk Protection Orders: S.2451 allowing law enforcement officials, family and household members and certain school officials to seek a court order requiring a person likely to harm themselves or others to relinquish any firearms in their possession.
• Effective Background Check Act: S.2374 establishing an extension of time up to thirty calendar days for national instate background checks.
• Preventing School Districts from Allowing Teachers to be Armed: S.101A preventing K-12 schools from authorizing anyone other than a security officer, school resource officer, or law enforcement officer to carry a firearm on school grounds.
• Gun Buy Backs: S.2449 directing the State Police to devise regulations for gun buyback programs so that all buyback programs across the state are operated consistently with uniform best practices.
• Out of State Mental Health Records: S.2438 requiring out-of-state applicants for gun permits to allow New York permitting authorities to review out-of-state mental health records.
