Under Assemblyman Steck’s bill, the NY Attorney General can bring civil and criminal actions in NY State courts against any NY State resident or the ammunition seller in another state, when ammunition is purchased in another state and it does not go through NY State’s background check.
Example Letter:
Dear Assemblyman X,
Please oppose bill A08443. It gives the attorney general the power to bring civil and criminal actions to a NY resident who buys ammo in another state, and also to bring civil and criminal actions to a seller of ammo another state who sells ammo to a NY resident. This is wrong, unconstitutional, and against the congress’ authority over interstate commerce. The supreme court would never uphold this law. Many people are close to the state border, or travel through neaby states frequently, and this law is foolish. Please don’t support it.
