SENATOR JEFF KLEIN PROPOSES FIREARM BAN FOR THOSE ON FEDERAL TERRORIST LIST
December 11, 2015
-
ISSUE:
- Gun Control
- Legislature
“Terrorists armed to the teeth in San Bernadino and Paris call for stricter provisions in our state’s gun laws. As the sponsor of the SAFE Act, I will immediately introduce a new provision to ban any individual on the federal terrorist watch list or on the no fly list from purchasing a gun in New York State. Any person on these lists already licensed to carry a gun will have those licenses revoked and the New York State Police will confiscate their weapons. While our nation’s representatives quibble over details, New York cannot afford to risk the lives of our citizens by letting guns fall into the hands of dangerous individuals.”
