Brendan J. Lyons reports for the Times Union that the U.S. Supreme Court will review New York's new ammunition background checks at a conference on Oct. 6. Democrats in the state Legislature a year ago passed the new rules after a ruling by the Supreme Court threw out New York's century-old concealed carry rules. Some gun store owners have reported glitches in the new ammo background checks, but the State Police issued a statement saying the National Instant Criminal Background Check System “processes transactions immediately. However, some responses will take longer than others depending on the amount of research required.” Rep. Elise Stefanik, who represents Rensselaer County and the rest of the 21st Congressional District, is excited about the Supreme Court conference, saying, “Governor Hochul’s state-run background check system and tax on constitutional rights are causing serious delays and false denials.... I have heard from constituents, including former law enforcement officials, who have successfully purchased a firearm only to be denied the ability to purchase ammunition. The delays are also causing community firearm retailers to lose customers who say they aren’t going to wait and instead go to neighboring states for ammunition to avoid the state registration and extra taxes.” Read more about this story in the Times Union.
