Fairfax, VA -(AmmoLand.com)- Two New York legislators have announced that they are introducing legislation in 2016 that would severely limit ammunition purchases.
State Senator Roxanne Persaud (D-19) and Assemblywoman Jo Anne Simon (D-52) want to pass a law that would limit ammo purchases to twice the capacity of the firearm during a 90-day period (3 months)!
Undeterred by the failed SAFE Act, anti-gun lawmakers in Albany seem determined to pursue the same failed policies and will not stop until the Second Amendment is completely dismantled. The SAFE Act has done nothing to lower crime in New York and has turned law-abiding citizens into criminals. The SAFE Act had its own ammunition restrictions and required ammunition background checks which were suspended after Governor Cuomo embarrassingly realized that such a system was impractical. In addition, the last attempt to regulate how many rounds a person could load into a gun was overturned by a Federal District Court in New York and ruled unconstitutional.
Persaud and Simon are justifying this bill by pointing to terrorism, as if terrorists are going to voluntarily ration ammunition. There are so many problems with this legislation that it would be impossible to highlight them all herein. Again, for the sake of New York citizens, we would hope legislators start focusing on the serious issues facing the state and stop introducing these embarrassing ideas.
It’s readily evident that the two lawmakers know next to nothing about the subject of firearms and ammunition. Manufacturers don’t even package ammunition with such a random number of cartridges in many cases. This is one of the most absurd bills being introduced in the entire country.
However, because anti-gun legislators in New York have a history of defying logic, we will treat this legislation as another serious attempt to infringe on your constitutional right to self-defense.

How is it that people this absolutely stupid get elected? Guess it doesn’t say much for the voters of New York. I swore years ago to never go to New York. They don’t need my money anyway.
This is as predicted. The anti-gun crowd realized many years ago they couldn’t ban guns so are in the process of whittling away at everything gun related.
Unless these idiots watch CSI they don’t even know the difference between bullets, cases and cartridges. Brady Bunch and Bloomberg sheep.
This is (again) legislation proposed by NYC libs that neither know not care how the rest of this state lives. The only viable solution to this is for upstate to claim self rule and divide from NYC. We will not continue to be ruled by these idiots. If it helps….you can keep the name and we,will sweeten,the deal by throwing in Andy Cuomo…you are welcome to keep the corrupt SOB. They obviously wanted him, they just voted him back in.
I’m so tired of these people and their bs restrictions. Enough! Who the hell is voting for these people?
I want to introduce a bill that will only allow you to buy three days of food per visit. This will help protect kids from getting fat, of course you will be able to buy food on the black market and from hoarders but this will make life miserable for those folks that are busy and trying to do the tight thing by planning out the week and maximizing what they get done each week. Sounds stupid doesn’t it? Stupid just like you simon, I can’t wait to sell food on the side at double or triple the normal going… Read more »
It’s amazing that it’s always a stupid *(&*% who has only seen pictures of a gun that come up with stupid bills like this. Hey *&%^*&%*& I have an idea…shut the *&*&%*& up unless you have a clue of what you are talking about. For those of you that voted for these stupid women here’s a lesson for you, tax dollars are wasted on things like this. This is why hillary will never make it into office but at least it’s worth a laugh for those of you stupid enough to waste your vote on her.
