This will backfire if it's passed... and I kind of doubt it will get past committee. The NRA has some liability programs for their members. It will make NRA members out of every firearm owner in New York State!

What makes you believe that with all the underhanded disreguard for our Constitution that it will even make committee in the name of executive order?
