Extends the existing prohibition on disposing of (selling or transferring) firearms, rifles, or shotguns to prohibited persons (after certain convictions or disabilities) to also cover ammunition, so less ability to transfer ammunition.
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 him or her 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 both buyers with disqualifying convictions/disabilities and those transferring to such persons. This is a direct restriction on acquiring and transferring ammunition after certain convictions. No other topics are substantively addressed.
