If Senate Bill 2994, which Sen. Eric Adams (D-Brooklyn) has sponsored, becomes law in New York State, owners of all long guns will have to register every such weapon.

Along with an annual registration, Adams’ bill would impose a fee of $15 per gun and an annual renewal fee of $10 for each gun a state resident owns. The bill also would require that all firearms acquired in the future be registered with information on where and how the gun was obtained.

State and national gun groups strongly oppose such gun-control legislation. New York State SCOPE president Stephen Aldstadt noted that at this point it is only a one-house bill—just on the floor of the state senate. “But it could easily find sponsorship in the Assembly,” Aldstadt added. SCOPE representatives will be in Albany during sessions in March. To view the SCOPE summation of this and other anti-gun state legislation, go to nyscope.org.

The U. S. Sportsmen’s Alliance sees the bill as not only “an attack on gun ownership rights, [but also]a blatant tax on gun ownership.” For details on the effort to oppose the Adams bill, go to ussportsmen.org.

Just wait until either a "National" and/or "State" mandated ammo tax is tripled...That's why I enjoy the states that are manufacturing firearms, and declaring they are exempt from all Federal interference.

Including Fed Taxes.

Want to put folks to work?.?, build more ammo and firearm facilities....

The same fricken group of ninnies that went state to state in 2008 saying that BHO and all the Dems on his coat tails were not after our guns
