Creates a new crime of unlawful possession of firearms (including rifles, shotguns, and ammunition) by anyone under 21, with exceptions only for licensed hunting, so less ability for under-21s to possess firearms.
It shall be unlawful for any person under the age of twenty-one to possess any rifle, shotgun, or firearm as defined in section 265.00 of this article, or any gun or any instrument or weapon in or upon which any loaded or blank cartridges may be used, or any loaded or blank cartridges or ammunition therefor, provided that the possession of a rifle or shotgun or ammunition therefor by the holder of a hunting license or permit issued pursuant to article eleven of the environmental conservation law and used in accordance with said law shall not be governed by this section.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a new offense restricting firearm and ammunition possession by those under 21 (with a hunting exception), while repealing the prior ban on similar items for those under 16; both changes are tagged under firearms/other as they substantively alter age-based possession rules but do not match any listed subtag.
