A new law in New York extends the waiting period for certain gun purchases from three days to 30 days.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the law Monday and it takes effect in September.

Under existing federal law, gun dealers must wait three days before completing a sale if someone is not instantly approved by the federal National Instant Criminal Background Check System.

The sale could proceed even if the background check was not finished.

New York gun buyers will now have to wait 30 days for the background check.

Cuomo and Democratic lawmakers said the extended background check will give law enforcement the time it needs to complete a thorough investigation, Syracuse.com reported.

“Stronger background checks will help keep guns away from dangerous people,” said Sen Michael Ginaris, D-Queens, Senate sponsor of the bill.

Tom King, president of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, said the new law isn’t necessary. The three-day waiting period worked well, he said, and lawmakers extended for reasons that were largely political.

“This is just feel-good legislation,” he said. “This is something that the governor and the politicians are saying will make you safer. That’s hogwash.”

Cuomo also signed a bill banning bump stocks. A federal bump stock ban took effect in March

Film at 11....

There should be at least a 30 day waiting period for most things... Gun purchases, animal adoptions, weddings, you name it...

Doubt this will do much for safety in terms of extra checks being completed, but I've got no issue with the new law...

Nor did the german people with the Nazi's dictates, as long as it didn't affect them.


My issue with this is it only impacts a certain class of folks, who are mostly the law abiding ones. It simply makes their lives harder, and prevents folks from protecting themselves.

I was in Long Beach, California when the Rodney King thing went down and the riots started. Folks where trying to buy a gun to protect their homes and families, and went bat **** crazy when they found out, "Here you go, come back in 10 days."

This does nothing at all for the public safety. Nothing. It's feel good BS kabuki theater. Nothing else.

"Look, we're trying!" All the while weakening sentencing guidelines and letting every illegal immigrant in the world run free and protected. Complete BS.

It all comes down to whether your ox is being gored, doesn't it?

Whether you like the issue or not, if you don't protect others rights, even if you aren't a fan, no one else is going to protect you and yours either. They won't be there.

Well, if they didn't have to wait they coulda just robbed some stores...

Neither did the Jews. No one ever does. Heat the water slow, the frog doesn't realize it's cooking. Small steps are what puts a society into lockdown. Not big ones.



If you were actually there you know the answer to that. It was on TV all over at the time. I'll not waste my time arguing with a closed mind that simply wants to deflect. It's a waste.

I can spell integrity and intellectual honesty though. Most can't.

Wtf. The irony is dripping. Knock yourself out.

Gun rights will never be 'eliminated'. The powers that be will just make buying/owning/using guns so inconvenient and expensive, people will just give up. Younger people are buying fewer guns already. And this generation are the kids born after 9/11 and the Patriot Act. They are growing up with a very different concept of what privacy and rights are.

I’m sorry.

But IDs to vote are racist

Your blindness is your weakness again. He’s not a liberal nor am I. Read his other posts. Your conclusion jumping is epic.

I happen to agree with you on this issue just not your approach, and I read just fine. I also don’t need to google anyone, I remember it clearly and can still visualize it.

When you toss out the stale one liners about libs, reading comprehension blah blah blah, especially when they don’t apply it shows your closed mind at the same time you are accusing others of the same.

Others can disagree with you and be equally or more intelligent than and informed as you. From what I’ve seen they often are. It’s a mentally weak tactic to declare things rather than discuss things despite how it may feel.

You consider yourself the benchmark but you are not and while you are puffing out your chest to look big in reality you look very small. You become a caricature that can’t be taken seriously even in this situation when I think you are right and agree with you more than Opel.

Your assumptions and blindness make you look weak minded in arguments and you can declare yourself the winner whenever you like. If that makes you feel better go ahead but it’s a bit delusional. .

In reality you find a way to lose with a winning hand and it’s hard to take you seriously even when folks like me want to.

So there mr poopy pants. Lighten up Francis.

I think Gunner had some salient points. The people this effects are the honest law abiding citizens. The criminal element know where and how to buy guns on the street.

I wasn't there so I can only speculate but if I had been in LA during the Rodney King riots I would have wanted to buy a gun for protection. Though I don't think for Reginald Denny it would have made a difference. He was brutalized only hours after the verdict. Shop owner though are a different story.

Also, I doubt more information will be gathered in 30 days instead of 3 days. A better law would be to ensure that all legally available data be in a national data base instead of some here some there and so on. A gun should not go into someone's possession before a background check, but in this day and age a background check should be instantaneous.

By the way I am a liberal, though I am a liberal centrist slightly left of center. I form my own thoughts and opinions. Slightly more would be considered liberal than conservative. It is simply incorrect on your part to lump me into a group with all liberals and think they believe that anything conservative is wrong.

Meh... drafter is stupid and stuff. I won't edit #21 but it was probably a bit stronger than need be. Had coffee now but to edit would show weakness. Never show weakness.

but the important thing is drafter is stupid and stuff

Drafter just because you think you can win a debate with half your brain tied behind your back doesn't mean you have to prove it on a daily basis. But in the words of the great kojak - who loves ya baby

By the way my wife was at USC during the riots. Pretty frightening time.

true true.... at least you are more open minded then they are, are much more intelligent, have better reading skilz, and have perfect hair

Yea but the antibiotics should help with that.

The only available mental health information that should be available is as follows. Was someone ever involuntarily istitionalized? Was someone ever diagnosed as criminally insane? Has someone ever been a danger to themselves or society?

What about state of mind..?? Saw a dude once outfitting a 12 gage riot gun sporting 2 blackeyes.... i don't know if the sale happened or not...

some think being a liberal is a mental illness but since all of them are anti gun that shouldn't matter much

#fakenews... You prolly watch too much cnn... Feel free to repeat the experiment yourself...

My puppy-dog killed one the other day...

no.. just chewed it up raw...

poor CROS....
