Legislation pre-filed in New York by State Senator James Sanders (D-10th Senate District) will require anyone wishing to purchase a firearm to first pass a mental health evaluation.
Senate Bill 7065 has been referred to the New York Senate Consumer Protection Committee where it awaits a hearing.Current New York law requires the use of a licensed firearms dealer and passage of a federal background (NICS) check to transfer any firearm.
SB 7065 would require the mental health check prior to initiating the background check.
The implementation of a mental health evaluation for firearm transfers constitutes unprecedented government regulation and overreach. The mental health requirement would even apply to a father giving a treasured firearm to his son or daughter.
Violators of the new law would face non-violent Class D felony charges and up to 7 years in prison. Some other non-violent Class D felonies in New York include robbery, burglary and vehicular manslaughter. If you are convicted of any felony, you lose your right to own a firearm and your right to vote.

Any comments from MS-13 Gang Bangers on this bill?
Yes, and there should be rigorous (and recurring) mental health exam and comprehensive (and recurring) drug screening of politicians and their staffs. Results to be released online, realtime.
Coming to POS Socialist Virginia, real soon.
Will “the examiner” place “the suspect” on a chair in the middle of a dark room, with a hanging light directly overhead? This shit is.....shit.
Bad Clockwork Orange Man....
a false dv charge is worse. innocent and framed and based on heresay 2a rights gone and weapons confiscated, kicked out of own home, can’t see kids and pets.
Again, respectfully, you’re missing the point.
This has nothing to do with DV. By continuing to bring that up, all you’re doing is playing into the gun grabbers’ hands by creating the impression that laws like this are meant to address Domestic Abusers (falsely accused or not), rather than everyone.
This law applies to everyone, whether falsely accused or not.
They should require a mental health evaluation to become an elected official in NY. Or to vote, for that matter.
In the USSR and its fellow commie countries, those who disagreed with the regime were considered mentally ill. And treated as such.
I should read:
I shudda read ahead.
If yer 18; you be smart enough to vote: but not to drink.
Agnostic atheist and a woman has rights over her body.
Now; where's my gun?
Now you can’t smoke in Pa unless you’re 21!
The very best decision I have ever made was to leave New York.
Reason 395 why I don’t live in NY. Reason number 1: Cold weather.

EXACTLY what I was going to post. Thank you for posting that.
The first are bad enough; but that last thing is just plain EVIL!!
Bloomberg will try to do this nationally.
Luxkily, they won’t be enforcing this requirement for law enforcement in NY .... it would decimate law enforcement.
