New York State has implemented a new regulation requiring both federal and state background checks for ammunition purchases, effective September 13th. This dual-check system, overseen by the New York State Police, adds an intermediary step and associated fees ($2.50 for ammunition checks). While proponents argue it enhances public safety, critics express concerns about logistical challenges, potential delays, and the impact on Second Amendment rights, particularly for law-abiding citizens.
As of September 13th, New York State has implemented a new background check requirement for ammunition purchases. This means that in addition to the existing NICS check for firearms, New Yorkers must now pass a state-level background check to buy ammunition. The video suggests this new regulation will significantly hinder the ability of law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights by making ammunition acquisition more difficult and time-consuming.
