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." Under the proposed legislation, law enforcement officials could investigate "commonly known profane slurs used or biased language used to describe race, national origin, ancestry, gender, religion, disability or sexual orientation; threatening health or safety of another person, or an act of terrorism."

I wrote that I knew what it was like to live in a cold place run by gun hating liberals. The state of NY is certainly run by gun hating liberals.
Nuts!
the right to privacy doesn’t seem to be something these leftists believe in.
who actually decides what criteria for this data determines if you have the right to own a gun there then.
Oh, the leftists of course.
“Oh I don’t use social media or the internet” — Are they also going to mandate monitoring such activities because ‘they know’ that people wont want to and will avoid disclosing such things ???
I hope these un-american freedom hating leftists get EVERYTHING they deserve.
Yes, I hope that they get what they deserve too.
As far as the web is concerned, I’ve not taken the step yet, but expect to soon find a VPN provider to help secure my web activities. And find another secure email provider.
I have nothing to hide, except my opinions. But this is where we are.
Absolutely Nuts.
Correct.
It appears doubtful this will go anywhere and if it does it probably won’t pass legal review as far as being constitutional. But it shows where ComDems are.

A Limit?
.
That should be a Minimum!
A rifle,
Shotgun
and Pistol.
All attempts to regulate the 2nd Amendment have done nothing to prevent crime, but have deeply eroded what the Founding Fathers had in mind.
The only way to preserve the 2nd Amendment is to restore it's status as a RIGHT by repealing the Gun Control Act of 1968.
Everything else has failed, this is the only option left, or we will lose this cornerstone of our Republic.
She lived in upstate NY.
Her business was located on Long Island. She had a business manager running the business on Long Island.
Yes, I’m fully aware of the effect of NYC on the state of NY.
I know that small towns in upstate NY is not like NYC. But like you said, NYC voters control the state.
I’d be very unhappy there.
I’m sure that is correct.
The ComDems have never seen the Constitution as a limiting factor when they feel compelled to force us to do something.
I went back to the article, are you talking about WHAM? It is a broadcast station. And it quotes local politicians, police and officials in the article linked through WHAM.
What is the anon connection?
OMG. Hide! With a screen name like that they are going to hunt you down. LOL.
Not from my screen name. It is from what I write NS post here, on Twitter and other places on the web.
Not all my posts are under this screen name.
If they can afford my rent, they have no money left for a brick !!!
btw — just don’t want an ‘arsenal’ here or the inherent fire risk. The space I rent is not even 450 sq ft, single person units.
Talking about Twitter. My “official” account is squeaky clean.
There is an account named @squeakyclean, with 2 followers and 1 Tweet, joined March 2009. I’d say it’s phony account.
Locally we have a DACA recipient who will never become a productive member of society she threatened her school on social media saying she was going to shoot up the school.
But they won’t Deport her. Abigail Hernandez
