A 202 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Adds ammunition to the list of prohibited items to purchase or dispose of after certain convictions

This bill amends New York's penal law to explicitly include ammunition in the list of items prohibited for individuals with certain criminal convictions or disabilities. It expands existing restrictions on firearms, rifles, and shotguns to cover ammunition, making it a class D felony to purchase, dispose of, or knowingly assist a prohibited person in obtaining ammunition. The law targets individuals barred from firearm possession due to prior convictions or other disqualifying factors, and also holds accountable those who facilitate such transactions. This change directly affects people with specific criminal histories and anyone who knowingly helps them acquire ammunition.
