↑Expands gun accessmodel confidence 85%
Repeals section 400.03 of the penal law (which established the ammunition background check and registration system) and removes the requirement for ammunition sellers to register or perform background checks via the statewide database.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill enacts multiple provisions that reduce restrictions on firearm ownership, licensing, transfers, and related reporting/destruction rules, including due process expansions in revocation proceedings, repeal of mental health reporting mandates that feed into disqualifications, repeal of ammunition background check/registration requirements, religious exemption from photo ID for licenses, expanded family transfer exemption, and limits on record use and firearm destruction. All changes move toward fewer restrictions on the ability to buy, own, carry or possess firearms.
