New York has transitioned to a 'Point of Contact' state for firearm and ammunition background checks, effective September 13, 2023. All checks now go through the New York State Police system, requiring dealers to register on a state web application. This change introduces potential delays, a new fee structure for buyers ($9 for firearms, $250 for ammunition), and a system for tracking ammunition purchases via scanned codes, which critics liken to a backdoor registry.

This video discusses concerns regarding the implementation of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) by the FBI, specifically focusing on enhanced background checks for individuals aged 18-20. It highlights reports suggesting the FBI is automatically delaying firearm purchases for this age group in states like Maine, without requiring specific cause, effectively creating a de facto 10-day waiting period. The video also raises concerns about the FBI potentially compiling addresses of lawful firearm buyers and reporting delayed transactions to local law enforcement, which is argued to be an overreach of authority and a potential violation of privacy protections.

This video discusses the implications of House Bill HR 8, which expands background checks for firearm purchases. The speaker argues that this bill, along with HR 1446, creates a more burdensome process for law-abiding citizens, potentially leads to firearm registration, and does not deter criminals. It highlights concerns about government access to firearm ownership data and extended delays in the NICS system.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented surge in gun sales as Americans seek protection. This surge has overwhelmed the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), causing significant delays for legitimate buyers. The Gun Owners of America (GOA) is advocating for gun stores and manufacturers to be recognized as essential services to mitigate these issues.

This video discusses the concept of Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties, the process for appealing a denied NICS check, and new concealed carry laws for veterans in Ohio. It highlights how local counties can declare themselves sanctuaries by refusing to enforce state-level gun control measures. The appeal process for a denied NICS check involves submitting an appeal form with a unique personal identification number (UPIN) to the FBI. For Ohio veterans, an honorable discharge now allows for a CCW permit without fees for background checks or classes, though a background check is still required.
