New York gun law requires providing social media handles for prescreening
New York recently passed a law that requires those, wanting to purchase a gun, to provide their social media handles as a part of their screening. They must provide the social media handles that they used over the last three years. This would allow the screeners to determine if the potential gun buyer has the correct character traits needed to pass their screening.
Fox News:
The new law will require people trying to purchase a handgun license to hand over a list of social media accounts they have maintained over the last three years, so officials can verify their “character and conduct.”
According to the measure, applicants must prove they have “the essential character, temperament and judgment necessary to be entrusted with a weapon and to use it only in a manner that does not endanger oneself and others.”
“Sometimes, they’re telegraphing their intent to cause harm to others,” Hochul said at a news conference.
Individuals applying for a license to carry a handgun will also be required to provide four character references and take 16 hours of gun safety training and two hours of shooting practice at a range. They will be subject to periodic background checks and will have to turn over social media accounts and contact information for adults living in their household.
Licenses will have to be renewed after three years and an appeals process will be established, the law notes.
Under the law, concealed weapons will be prohibited from a number of areas, including Times Square, subways, buses, bars, government buildings, churches, schools, libraries, playgrounds, parks and homeless shelters.
Firearms will also be barred from private establishments unless business owners explicitly state that they are allowed. Businesses must post a sign granting permission to armed patrons. In many other states, businesses that do not permit guns typically have to post signs indicating that firearms are not allowed.
Friday’s bill altered a recently passed law that banned the sale of certain bulletproof vests, although that legislation had failed to cover the type of protection worn by the 18-year-old gunman who fatally shot 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo in May.

You’re “too extremist” if we don’t like what you say, comrade! (Dems for ya!)
Sounds constitutional to me. 🙄
Why they want to pack the court.
These goons are scared shitless there will be a real insurection
in Albany and the people will bring rope. Guns won’t matter.
Sooner or later We The People are gonna slap these tyrants so hard they’ll never know what hit ’em.
Good Lord, talk about jumping through hoops, any consideration for Vets like the training or range time?
Veterans? Those evil “racist” imperialist stooges? (These are leftists, you know… )
They will close the ranges they demand people use.
Of course.
Dont look me upon REDDIT, banned on most pages.
Back in the 1930s there was a Not-zo-fun Arbeiterpartei that required membership and purity tests to keep Arms.
I’ll leave you to draw your own conclusions about my inference.
That being said, its time for the Hinterlands to partition the state, from urban to sane. Stand up, Up-Staters!
Yes, a certain disarmed minority were much easier to load onto railroad cars…
The German authorities liked that.
So if what people post on social media are considered a threat, why are they not arrested and prosecuted for posting said threat(s)? You can do a cursory search on the internet and instantly find videos of aspiring rappers singing about popping caps in the azzes of n-word redacted and hoes.
Those dudes don’t need no stinkin’ paper to be strapped. In da’ hood all dem homies be packin’.
But of course… they have to have gats and cause collateral damage to justify action against law-abiding folk!
What next? A search history of your computor? A search of your permament record from grade school when you shot spitballs? God forbid they find out about the lust you had for your 4th grade teacher (a Miss Landers look-a-like). What about the folks that don’t have a “Social Media” account? Are those rejected out of hand? One last question. Does TAH count as “Social Media”? If so, I’m screwed. How many times have I screamed “RISE UP!” “RESIST!” “REBEL!” “REVOLT!”? Or implored We, The People, to throw off the yokes of the coming oppression from despotic tyrants that want to make us servants?
You dumbass Noo Yawk damyankys voted these mofos into office. You deal with it. Wake up sheeple…this is coming to a jurisdiction near you…soon.
Is for “greater good,” comrade!
Relax, King, TAH is antisocial media… 😉
Wonder what Constitutional Right I will have to pass a test ,to exercise next? These traitors are insane with stolen power.
Poll tax, literacy test? Democrats did it before.
They don’t need those tools anymore, they have Dominion machines and ballot mules.
I’m Lost on this. Is this about new york city only or does it cover every county outside of new york city. ??????.
What’s the background story regarding the meme photo? Was she one of the drug or human traffickers? I just googled a bit and read about those types of group executions. Couldn’t find a photo of “Ponytail” being executed by a Chicom Type-81.
She misgendered someone. It’s the only way to ensure that she does not offend again.
What always gets me about that photo is the officials milling around in the background, looking like they’re not even paying attention to the execution they’re supposed to be overseeing. Slaughtering a bunch of helpless peasants must have been routine to them.
Is TAH a social media account?
See Poe’s comment above…
Apparently one must say “SIEG HEIL the party in charge along with its agenda” in order to get anything in a libnazi-run State.
Da, comrade, is called “framing the debate”– wouldn’t want counter-revolutionary thought to interfere!
Prove yourself innocent worthy and you might be allowed to have an old pump action shottie or a 1911 with a 7 round magazine. That’s how the Bill of Rights works right?
Well, bolt-action rifles, revolvers, double-barrel shotguns and Winchester ’73s at this point (further restrictions to come)… because the semi-auto 1911 can “accept a magazine with more than 10 rounds” (making it an evil “assault weapon”) and anything that could have a sport plug and pump-action “barrel shroud” is too (buckshot will soon be a “weapon of mass destruction” as well).
Hell, liberals want to keep BB guns, airsoft guns and toy guns, period, out of the hands of children “for safety” now, too. (Don’t even let them post pictures of stuff they want or talk about it on social media or child protective services will be on your ass courtesy of some “concerned” Karen.) Drag shows, bootleg puberty blockers and talking with pedos online is cool with them though.
If I lived in NY and wanted to buy a gun, I’d tell them my Social media handle was LC or Lars.
They’d be backing up a Tractor Trailer of weapons to my house in a hot minute.
