New York: Numerous Anti-Gun Bills Still Moving in Final Days of Session

New York lawmakers are tentatively scheduled to end their 2025 Regular Session this week, which means they are feverishly pushing through hundreds of bills at lightning pace with little or no discussion.  Gun owners are once again being targeted by anti-gun politicians in Albany. This is your chance to make your voice heard. Please contact your State Senator and Assembly Member TODAY by using the Take Action link and urge them to vote NO on all gun control bills moving in the final hours of session.


Some of the most concerning bills currently active include:

S.362/A.3233 creates a 10-day waiting period on any firearm.  The bill passed the Senate 40-22 and is currently awaiting action in the Assembly Codes Committee.

S.1472 is an attack on concealed carry and NRA-certified instructors.  This legislation would transfer full responsibility for establishing training curriculum and certification to the Division of Criminal Justice Services by 2029, completely upending concealed carry in New York.  The bill has passed the Senate 42-20 and is now in the Assembly Codes Committee. 

A.198A/S.1026A establishes a voluntary waiver of the right to purchase firearms, rifles and shotguns.  The problem with this legislation is that it lacks effective rights restoration and includes the voluntary prohibition in the state background check system which is fraught with problems.  The bill has passed a Senate Committee and awaits action on the Senate floor while the Assembly version remains in the Assembly Rules Committee. 

S.399/A.199A bans pistol converters and “convertible pistols.”  This bill is perhaps the worst because it is an outright handgun ban.  Any semi-auto firearm “capable” of being convertible would be banned. Lawmakers are attempting to ban striker-fire handguns such as Glocks. This bill has passed committee in the Senate and is on the Senate floor calendar. The Assembly bill remains in committee.

S.1455/A.1191 establishes a study on the viability of personalized handguns, or “smart guns.”  The good news is that this bill currently is only a study and not a mandate.  A.1191 passed the full Assembly, but the Senate version remains in the Senate Finance Committee.

S.4954/A.1089 would ban the taking of game with lead ammo ban on public lands. Both bills are in the Environmental Conservation Committees in their respective chambers. 

The status of these bills was current as of the writing of this alert, however, the pace of the legislative session during the last days is frenetic.

Stay tuned to the NRA-ILA website for further updates as this legislation moves.
