↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 80%
Empowers the Attorney General to bring civil and criminal actions specifically against individual sellers and retail firearms dealers for violations involving illegal firearms, rapid-fire devices, and ammunition sales, increasing their exposure to state enforcement actions.
The attorney general shall have the power to enforce the provisions of this section by bringing civil and criminal actions in the state courts of New York.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds executive law §76 granting the NY Attorney General explicit investigative, prosecutorial, and injunctive powers over illegal firearm/ammunition sales and sales of rapid-fire modification devices by any seller or dealer, including those bypassing required state authorization (background check). This enforces and expands existing restrictions on firearm purchases, accessories, and dealer liability without creating new substantive bans or changing definitions of legality.
