9 months agoYou’d need a metal barrel, receiver and other parts to make a gun that can shoot more than once. Does anyone know if background checks are required in NY for purchasing those items as well? I didn’t see it mentioned in the article. If not, then people will just switch to wood or other materials to make their ghost guns and hobbyists are left with an extra tax and inconvenience.
If all it takes is a shift or two, then landlords can surely recoup the costs with an extraordinarily small increase of rent (pennies or single digit dollars).
