A03371 Memo:
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the penal law, in relation to adding
certain weapons to the definition of assault weapon and repealing
certain provisions of such law relating thereto
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
To repeal the grandfather clause in the definition of assault weapon
which currently allows the possession of an assault weapon if the weapon
was lawfully possessed prior to September fourteenth, nineteen hundred
ninety-four or if the weapon was manufactured on of before October
first, nineteen hundred ninety-three; to provide for the surrender and
destruction of such weapons.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1 Subparagraphs (iii), (iv), and (v) of paragraph (e) of subdi-
vision 22 of section 265.00 of the penal law are amended to prohibit the
possession of an assault weapon lawfully possessed prior to September
fourteenth, nineteen hundred ninety-four, and is amended to prohibit the
possession of a weapon as defined in Appendix A to section 922 of 18
U.S.C. as such a weapon was manufactured on October first, nineteen
hundred ninety-three.
Section 2 Paragraph one of subdivision a of section 265.20 of the penal
law is amended to provide that all assault weapons must be surrendered
to the superintendent of the division of state police within 15 days of
the repeal of the grandfather clause.
Section 3 Section 400.05 of the penal law is amended to provide that
assault weapons surrendered after the repeal of the grandfather clause
will be declared a nuisance and be destroyed.
Section 4 Effective date
JUSTIFICATION:
In 2000, New York`s penal law was amended to define military-style weap-
ons and weapons with excessively large ammunition capacities as "assault
weapons." The possession and sale of such assault weapons was banned but
a "grandfather clause" was included, allowing the legal possession of
those assault weapons that were lawfully possessed since September 14,
1994 or manufactured on or before October 1, 1993. Given the current
heightened concerns regarding terrorism, and the danger posed by these
military-style and large capacity weapons, this bill repeals the assault
weapon grandfather clause and prohibits the sale and possession of all
assault weapons in an effort to protect citizens and law enforcement
personnel.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
2003-04: A7333-A Referred to Codes
FISCAL IMPLICATION:
None.
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the first of January next succeeding the
date on which it shall have become law.
From the initial read, it sounds like it's a knee-jerk reaction to the Kinston NY mall shooting. this looks like not only a ban but a turn-in or confiscation of anyhing that was identified earlier as an "assault weapon"
I'll bet Sarah Brady is having her "Big O" right about now and Hitlery is dancing in the streets.
