Backdoor Ammo Registry, HUGE Gun Sale Delays Coming to New York
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.
