↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 80%
Raises the minimum age for sale of paint pellet guns or other air guns from 16 to 18 and increases the civil penalty for violations from $500 to $1000.
No person, firm, or corporation shall sell or offer to sell a paint pellet gun or other types of air guns to any person under [deleted: sixteen] eighteen years of age.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends multiple sections of the general business law to broaden regulation of imitation weapons (including air rifles, pellet guns, and BB guns), raise age limits and penalties for air gun sales, and extend gun industry member duties and potential liability to cover imitation weapons, all of which add restrictions on access, sales, and manufacturing practices related to these items.
