New York is considering two bills, S9215 and A10701, that would significantly regulate air guns and BB guns. These bills propose classifying them as imitation firearms, increasing the minimum sales age from 16 to 18, and requiring manufacturers and sellers to adhere to the same standards as the regular firearms industry. The proposed regulations include making these items brightly colored, transparent, and having plugged barrels, which would effectively ban most current models. The legislation also aims to prevent sales to straw purchasers and traffickers, and addresses concerns about marketing practices, potentially impacting First Amendment rights.
