Extends the prohibition on disposing of (selling or transferring) firearms, rifles, or shotguns (and now also ammunition) to persons known to have certain prior convictions or disabilities, so fewer people with disqualifying records can obtain ammunition from others.
Knowing that another person is prohibited by law from possessing a firearm, rifle or shotgun or ammunition because of a prior conviction or because of some other disability which would render such other person ineligible to lawfully possess a firearm, rifle or shotgun or ammunition in this state, a person disposes of a firearm, rifle or shotgun or ammunition to such other person.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Penal Law § 265.17 to repeatedly insert "or ammunition" (and related phrasing) into the crime of criminal purchase or disposal of a weapon, expanding the prohibition to cover ammunition for persons with disqualifying convictions or disabilities. This restricts the firearms topic axis by limiting access to ammunition for prohibited persons; no other listed topics are substantively addressed.
