Democrats made it clear before the midterms that they were going to aggressively pursue new gun control measures and in New York, they are wasting no time. New legislation is being considered which would possibly require a potential gun purchaser to submit their social media history.
FOX News reports:
Gun purchasers may need to submit social media history under proposed New York legislation
Those looking to buy a gun in New York may need to submit their social media profiles and search history prior to purchase if new firearm legislation in the state becomes law.
Under the legislation drafted by Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and State Senator Kevin Parker, both Democrats, up to three years’ worth of search history on social media would be able to be reviewed, ABC Action News reported.
Senate Bill 9191, according to WHAM, mandates “social media and search engine reviews prior to the approval of an application or renewal of a license to carry or possess a pistol or revolver; requires a person applying for a license to carry or possess a pistol or revolver or a renewal of such license to consent to having his or her social media accounts and search engine history reviewed and investigated for certain posts and/or searches over a period of 1-3 years prior to the approval of such application or renewal; defines terms.”
Like all things regarding gun control, this is a slippery slope. Where does it end?
