Creates a new class A misdemeanor penalty for dealers who violate the one-per-ninety-days rifle-or-shotgun purchase limit, so adds an enforcement mechanism that restricts acquisition.
Any person who knowingly violates the provisions of this article shall be guilty of a class A misdemeanor punishable as provided for in the penal law.
