New York recently passed a law that requires those, wanting to purchase a gun, to provide their social media handles as a part of their screening. They must provide the social media handles that they used over the last three years. This would allow the screeners to determine if the potential gun buyer has the correct character traits needed to pass their screening.<\/p>\n

The new law will require people trying to purchase a handgun license to hand over a list of social media accounts they have maintained over the last three years, so officials can verify their “character and conduct.”<\/p>\n

According to the measure, applicants must prove they have “the essential character, temperament and judgment necessary to be entrusted with a weapon and to use it only in a manner that does not endanger oneself and others.”<\/p>\n

“Sometimes, they’re telegraphing their intent to cause harm to others,” Hochul said at a news conference.<\/p>\n

Individuals applying for a license to carry a handgun will also be required to provide four character references and take 16 hours of gun safety training and two hours of shooting practice at a range. They will be subject to periodic background checks and will have to turn over social media accounts and contact information for adults living in their household.<\/p>\n

Licenses will have to be renewed after three years and an appeals process will be established, the law notes.<\/p>\n

Under the law, concealed weapons will be prohibited from a number of areas, including Times Square, subways, buses, bars, government buildings, churches, schools, libraries, playgrounds, parks and homeless shelters.<\/p>\n

Firearms will also be barred from private establishments unless business owners explicitly state that they are allowed. Businesses must post a sign granting permission to armed patrons. In many other states, businesses that do not permit guns typically have to post signs indicating that firearms are not allowed.<\/p>\n

Friday’s bill altered a recently passed law that banned the sale of certain bulletproof vests, although that legislation had failed to cover the type of protection worn by the 18-year-old gunman who fatally shot 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo in May.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
