Already some of the toughest in the nation, New York’s gun laws may soon get even stronger.
Democrats in the state Senate passed a package of gun control bills Wednesday, and according to the web site Politico, it includes a “first-in-the-nation attempt to reopen firearms manufacturers to liability for some deaths caused by their products.”
Other provisions would expand the waiting period between purchase and possession of a gun to 10 days.
New Yorkers Against Gun Violence Executive Director Rebecca Fischer applauds the new legislation. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
