Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. While VP Biden’s proposals for gun control are yet to be made known and federal action is still up in the air, NY is moving ahead with its own gun control proposals. There is consensus on several fronts and one area of disagreement.

All sides agree that background checks should be mandatory on all transfers. That would greatly expand the background check, though one wonders the mechanics of how a private seller would do the background check on another private buyer - I’m assuming that they’d have to go through a registered seller’s establishment, but I would have to see the markup of the bill to know for sure.

What’s less certain is a proposal to reduce the maximum ammo containing device from 10 to 7. Upstaters are more likely to be leery of the gun control regulations than downstaters, so this vote will probably be along those lines rather than the typical D/R mix.
