New York Bill Would Require Gun Registration          2/17/11

A bill in New York would require all gun owners to register their          firearms and pay yearly gun ownership fees.

Senate Bill 2994, introduced by Senator Eric Adams (D- Brooklyn),          requires gun owners to register each firearm currently owned with their          local county clerk’s office or local precinct station.  The bill          also requires that any firearms acquired in the future also be          registered with the state, including such information as to where and          how the gun was acquired.

Take Action!  New York sportsmen should contact their state          senator and urge them to oppose Senate Bill 2994.

Under the measure, gun owners would be required to provide the serial          number of each firearm owned, in addition to their name, address, phone          number, and the location where the firearm will be located when not in          use.

The bill also calls for a fee of $15 for each initial gun          registration.  In addition, gun owners would face a $10 per year          renewal fee for each gun owned.

“Not only is this bill an attack on gun ownership rights, it’s a          blatant tax on gun ownership,” said Jeremy Rine, U.S. Sportsmen’s          Alliance associate director of state services.  “It’s outrageous          that the state would try to make citizens register their guns and then          make money off of this process.”
