NY Bill A09340: Limit “Assault Weapon” Ammo Sales to 20 Rounds Every 4 Months


The law proposed by New York State Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon of Brooklyn would restrict "assault weapons" ammo to just 20 rounds every four months. Violate the law and it will be punishable by a Class E Felony.

(No that is not a misprint).

She wanted to originally propose restricting many more types of ammo. But there was a backlash to that proposal so she feels like this is a 'compromise'. This ranks up as one of the worst gun control proposals of all time.

"PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THE SALE OF AMMUNITION FOR ASSAULT WEAPONS, AS DEFINED BY SUBDIVISION TWENTY-TWO OF SECTION 265.00 OF THIS TITLE, SHALL BE LIMITED TO TWO TIMES THE CAPACITY OF AN AUTHORIZED WEAPON OVER A ONE HUNDRED TWENTY DAY PERIOD.

FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SUBDIVISION, “AUTHORIZED WEAPON” SHALL MEAN A WEAPON REGISTERED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUBDIVISION SIXTEEN-A OF SECTION 400.00 OF THIS CHAPTER. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY LAW, RULE OR REGULATION TO THE CONTRARY, THE VIOLATION OF THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL CONSTITUTE A CLASS E FELONY."
