New York Bill Controls Ammunition Sales





New York lawmakers have introduced a bill to put severe restrictions on ammunition sales.

Members of the Assembly Rules Committee recently introduced AB 9083. It requires retailers to remove ammunition from displays and store it in locations accessible only to employees, similar to controlled substances like pharmaceuticals or tobacco products. Customers would be prevented from browsing and comparing brands and loads.

Assembly Bill 9083 is strikingly similar to a California bill that was recently vetoed. The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance joined the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and other organizations in urging the October 7, 2005 veto of California’s AB 996.

Claims that such legislation is necessary to prevent ammunition theft are unfounded. According to NSSF senior vice president and general counsel Lawrence Keane, ammunition theft from retail establishments is not a significant problem.

The New York bill awaits debate in the Assembly Codes Committee.

Take Action! New York sportsmen should ask their Assembly members to oppose AB 9083. Explain that ammunition theft from retailers is not a contributing factor to gun violence. To contact your state assemblyman, call (518) 455-4218 or use the Legislative Action Center at www.ussportsmen.org.
