Ammunition Background Checks Suspended in New York

They were billed as a centerpiece of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s 2013 SAFE Act, but in a default victory for New York gun owners, the National Shooting Sports Foundation reports that background checks for New York ammunition purchases have been scrapped.

An agreement between Republican Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan and Director of Operations Jim Lamatras on Friday suspends this section of the SAFE Act. The agreement goes on to stipulate that no state money will be used to implement the database, meaning the ban on internet sales of ammunition is also discontinued. The New York State Police also acknowledged there is a “lack of technology” for supporting the database.
