Gun purchasers may need to submit social media history under proposed New York legislation

[fixer 4,472]

as if you needed another reason to be careful what you post on social media

 

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."

well that's B.S I really feel like there making us outlaws besides the fact I'd do nothing ever to hurt any American...I've said this before and I know how it sounds I EDC a gun everyday not to protect me but anyone around me...I wouldn't draw on someone just threating me because Americans shouldn't kill eachother...but checking ppl's FB is a good way to call people crazy I wonder if liking certain memes warrant investigation or if it says trump he cant own a gun...Today on CNN I seen they had a "surgical doctor" it looks like there trying a public health scare again,,, bullets are bad for you so are car accidents and accidental poising I can still by a used car with raid in the trunk no questions asked ...they also think the 2A was ment to be progressed upon like that's there right....im pretty P.O right now I woke up hearing how the left wants to make it hard to be a gun owner or become one and I felt personally attacked...I have the most hippy dippy live and let live views  as do most of us...idk anymore people are seriously pushing against there own rights.

My search history is set to delete upon exit.  What if you don't have a computer?  Is everyone required to get and use a computer now to own a gun?  Things like this are precisely why I use a throwaway email with none of my personal information on the account, I am never logged into any of my email accounst while I am browsing the net and I use a call sign on here and other such site.  Yes if they really want to find you bad enough they can, but I am not going to make it easy or cheap for them to do so!

Violates the 4th amendment. They can only do what we tolerate

[BuryTheHatchet 1,073]

Reverse profiling at its finest. The perfect way to instill fear to keep law-abiding citizens away from guns which would be used for personal protection from criminals and corrupt governments.

Gun Control: New York Wants To Check Social Media AND Search Engine History For Gun Permits

 

[Max 187]

Guess if a New Yorker wanted to purchase a firearm, it might be a good idea to stay off of social media, but if they continue to use it, maybe they could utilize a fictitious name.  Max

new York is F'd on its 2a laws as is...now they wanna No what kinda porn a gun buyer watches how pathetic ...I'm pretty sure the 4th amendment will be thrown out by the folks fighting the case but I don't think that's a stand alone argument .idk well see

[Max 187]

Man...it's a sad state of affairs when the guys in authority try to make a joke out of the Constitution by questioning it.  Guess we're fortunate to reside in Texas instead of New York.  Max

internet crimes over state lines is federal ???so that should stop it considering its not there jurisdiction right???I feel like this is defiantly a deterrent ...its not going through

[LI BANDIT 92]

I Find The Proposed Senate Bill as A Repulsive Measure as we'll ever see.  That Brooklyn Borough President, Eric Adams even Co-sponsored This [email protected]# of So-called Legislation is beyond "Comment".  Adams is a Retired NYPD Officer, should know better and furthermore should know better than most Proponents of this Legislation that this will only will Guarantee a Very Strong "Black Market".  Most of The Left Leaning Socialists in The Five Boroughs have their Collective Heads up Their Kulus, and know that Violent Crime is not at Level that would call upon this Type of Legislation.  This is nothing more than an Attempt to be able to "Cull" the Internet in an attempt to Identify those Citizens who are "Pro Constitutionalists", and as a result will be used down the Line to Confiscate Firearms.  Most Veterans within The Five Boroughs knew that this was coming and chances are unless there are any last minute "Hi Jinxs" pulled(Arm Twisting) this Legislation will not make it out of The Senate Chamber.  That most of The Citizens of NYS are involved in preparing for "The Holidays" does not help matters at all, there are enough of us in the rest of NYS to render Some Very Stiff Resistence.  This is just one of Many Reasons why this War on Constitutional Rights will probably go Kinetic, The Globalists are doing everything within Their Political Power to make Conflict Inevitable.

Anyone putting in their Twitter profile they support the 2ndA or NRA, GOA, etc...

The Government cant do that. I don't care what state it is. For example, DMV Fraud. Since when do we need driver's license to drive/travel in conveyance? Yes, it is happening right now. The Movement act states “The right of a citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, by horse drawn carriage, wagon, or automobile, is not a mere privilege which may be permitted or prohibited at will, but a common right which he has under his right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Under this constitutional guaranty one may, therefore, under normal conditions, travel at his inclination along the public highways or in public places, and while conducting himself in an orderly and decent manner, neither interfering with nor disturbing another’s rights, he will be protected, not only in his person, but in his safe conduct.” It is not a free right if we have to pay for it. 

 

To see that the government is stating this is ridiculous. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." This crap is infringing on that right. It is also going against the 4th amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. It is also taking away the right to plead the 5th: No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. , DO NOT TREAD ON MY RIGHTS, OORAH!!!!

PS, My love letter to Senator Kevin Parker: Make note of this Mr. Parker. What you are about to do with having social media profiles checked before being able to buy a gun is treasonous. I will have you arrested. under what probable cause do you have to over throw the 4th amendment to "Search" profiles on the social media? You have none!!!. What right do you have to over throw the 2nd amendment states:the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Who are you to infringe without a cause? The 5th amendment states: No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury,... nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. Think i wont issue an arrest for you? Try me. Step down!!! Unlike some people, Ill fight for my rights and others. The right to defend, rather it is for myself or others, it is my right. I'm one bold s.o.b lol.

Everything you say is true Chops but think back to 9/11 and how quickly the USA PATRIOT Act was passed,basically violating ALL those Rights. 

[Chops 60]

Yea I know. Like i have had stated before, The U.S.A. is no longer a free state. The government is trying their damnedest to take control. I mean, look at the "gun control false flags". I know the government are paying people to cause shootings. It has never been this bad until Obama, and has even gotten worse when Trump started running for president because he screwed up their plans to take this country over using ISIS. ISIS is still in this country and using the 2nd amendment against us because there is nothing the government can do about it if they are here legally. And the idiots want to take our guns. PFFT, they gonna have to pry it from my dead hands. My request is when I die, Let my ass stick out and bronze it so the government can kiss it 

[Iron Maiden 10]

When I die, please don't let me vote demorat !!!
