While I recognize that this is only in committee and that no vote is scheduled I do want to express that this is why "common sense" gun control is a complete misnomer.

Imagine, you're on a site like this and someone links to an article about "Proud Boys" or to a story about why some baker in Colorado won't bake a cake for a same sex wedding, that search could, if this legislation goes through, be used against you if you seek to purchase a firearm or renew a firearm permit in NY. It doesn't matter why you clicked on the link. You'd have to "prove" you had no bad intent.

Note the "..any other issue deemed necessary by the investigating officer." Does that sound like "common sense" or does it sound more like "extreme overreach and invasion of privacy"?

This is one of the reasons you don't give these anti-American scum an inch on gun control.Because every anti-2nd amendment law enacted is never enough. And just when you think they can't **** on the 2nd amendment even more they find another way to do it.
