Buying a Gun? Brooklyn Senator Wants Your Passwords
Not a surprise something like this would happen in my state. I don't personally own a handgun, but can't believe a politician would even try this. Thankfully I do not think this will pass. Imagine having any other rights suspended based upon your browser history being reviewed. Frightening stuff.
State lawmakers are looking to social media to prevent mass shootings across the country.
Democratic Senator Kevin Parker of Brooklyn recently introduced legislation that would require applicants to hand over their usernames and passwords for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat when purchasing a gun.
Applicants would also submit to a search of the last three years of their browser history.
