Prohibits advertising rifles, shotguns or firearms for offensive assault or homicide purposes, while exempting ads for recreation, hunting, self-defense or other legal uses, so more restrictions on how firearms can be marketed.
No person, firm or corporation engaged in the retail business of selling rifles, shotguns or firearms, as such terms are defined in section 265.00 of the penal law, shall advertise such rifles, shotguns or firearms to the general public by means of advertisements in public newspapers, magazines, by radio or television, or by electronic media display advertisements, for the purpose of offensive assault or homicide or other related offenses pursuant to article one hundred twenty-five of the penal law.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new section to the general business law that restricts firearm advertising by prohibiting its use to promote offensive assault or homicide while exempting lawful purposes; this falls under firearms/other as it regulates marketing without addressing the listed subtags like background checks, carry, or preemption.
