Whereas: S-5974/AB-5611 will force gun owners in New York State to obtain $1,000,000 in civil liability insurance as a requirement to buy a gun, insurance that is illegal to sell in our state; and
Whereas: S-5974/AB-5611 may force gun owners to obtain this coverage on each separate firearm that we buy, not just a singular policy; and
Whereas: The idea of this insurance requirement is blatantly unconstitutional, as there is no ‘historical analogue’ which is the requirement established in the 2022 Bruen decision; and
Whereas: This is happening while violent crimes from rape to murder to aggravated assault are at near-term historic highs, enabled by current gun control laws that benefit criminals.
Therefore: As your constituent, I insist that you VOTE NO on any legislation like this, knowing that it would only make it harder for innocent gun owners to defend themselves! The NYS Firearms Association will keep me informed on your votes.
