NY Lawmakers: Limit Ammo Purchases to 20 Rounds Every 90 Days

Legislators are trying to make the already draconian New York SAFE Act even more absurd.
According to this story from thet***haboutguns.com, lawmakers from Brooklyn announced two proposed amendments to the package of firearms laws would limit how much ammunition New York residents could buy at a time.
heoretically, a person who owns a six-shot revolver would be limited to purchasing 12 rounds every 90 days.
This story from brooklyneagle.com says the legislation would also “prevent gun dealers from selling ammunition for a firearms to anyone not authorized to have such a weapon.”
Anyone who knows anything about guns knows there are a lot of reasons this wouldn’t work. First, as thet***haboutguns.com points out, every single firearm possessed by a state resident would have to be cataloged and registered with information including it’s capacity for a gun shop to theoretically know which gun a person is purchasing ammunition for, and therefore how much to sell them. This would also mean that a person who doesn’t own a firearm wouldn’t be able to purchase ammunition.
Proponents of the legislation, including state Senator Roxanne Persaud and Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon, say the purpose of the legislation is to prevent terrorists from stockpiling ammunition.
“Limiting the quantity and duration between purchases of ammunition is one step in preventing someone with criminal intent from easily accessing large quantities of ammunition,” Persaud said in the story.
Earlier this year, New York suspended the ammunition registration portion of the SAFE Act because the required database was found to be unworkable and unaffordable to create. A similar system would be required to enforce this new amendment, should it ever pass.
The story also says: “Under the proposal, Section 270.00 of the New York State Penal Law would be amended to prevent gun dealers from selling ammunition for a firearm to anyone unauthorized to have such a weapon, regardless of the weapon type. Under the current code, only pistols and revolvers are specifically regulated.”
That’s not all. The new legislation ups the penalty for a violation to a Class E felony that carries a minimum of one year in prison, and up to four.

And a new black market is produced. Just like drugs some shadowy entrepreneur will either smuggle in ammo or make it in their basement. Liberals have to be the most gullible in the world. They pass meaningless legislation all the time so their i***t followers will say they are doing something, when actually they are just creating another illegal underground industry. I guess you can't get drugs in NY either.

Stupid is what stupid does. Chicago already has the strictest gun laws in America but also the highest gun crime rate. Somehow, the Libs think more gun laws will fix the problem, but they are allowed to walk among us?

All the more reason to ROLL YOUR OWN; reloads are only about 40% of factory and you can be sure that you fat is used for lubing. Any restriction on reload supplies and equipment? They probably don't understand that concept.
