New York Governor Kathy Hochul once again signed sweeping gun legislation into law on Friday that created several severe new restrictions on obtaining a gun in the state, including drastically increasing concealed carry regulations and requiring applicants to turn over social media history.
According to the the legislation, part of Hochul’s new criteria to obtain a concealed carry permit will be an applicant giving the government a list containing three years of history of their current and inactive social media accounts. Applicants must also have 16 hours of firearm training, provide four character references, and list the contact information for any domestic partners or adults of any kind they live with.
Potential applicants will also be required to show “good moral character,” meaning “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.
At a press conference regarding the new legislation, Hochul said “we are creating a definitive list of sensitive locations where individuals will not be able to carry firearms.”
I just signed a new law to keep New Yorkers safe – even in the face of a monumental setback from the Supreme Court.

This list includes “schools, summer camps, libraries, daycares, parks and playgrounds, places children gather, theaters, museums, entertainment venues, places of worship for religious observation, polling places, educational institutions, and health medical facilities. Federal State Local government buildings, homeless and domestic violence shelters, places where alcohol is consumed, restaurants, bars, public transportation, subway buses, airports and at public demonstrations and rallies, and in Times Square.”
Another new rule is a “Default of No Concealed Carry on Private Property and Businesses Unless Deemed Permissible by Property Owners.” Hochul said of this law, “We are making ‘no open carry’ the default position for private businesses. That means that any business, grocery store, retail, private home, place that wants to allow guns on their premises will have to demonstrate that and establish that they put a sign out there that says concealed carry guns are welcome here.
According to the Associated Press, Republican lawmakers were “incensed” and commented on the unconstitutional nature of the new New York gun laws and predicted, again, they’d be struck down.
The state GOP said, “the legislation not only violated the Second Amendment, but also privacy and free speech rights.
This new legislation comes hot on the heels of the Supreme Court’s June 23 ruling in the case of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen. In that case the court ruled that a New York gun-control law that required citizens to show “proper cause” to obtain a concealed carry license was in violation of the Constitution.
A day after the ruling both New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Hochul announced they were scheming on legislation that would work around the Supreme Court’s ruling. Hochul called the Democrat led legislature back into session at Albany and tasked them to work on the new rules.
The governor’s website lists the new gun regulations and slams the Supreme Court even more, calling their decision “reckless” and “senselessly sending us backward and putting the safety of our residents in jeopardy.
Much of Hochul’s new gun legislation mirrors and reinforces several new laws that were passed earlier in June. Those earlier regulations outlawed many types of body armor but were unspecific and the new July 1 laws define more specifically the types of bullet proof vests that are now illegal in New York.

Commies always double down…
We expect most of this shit to be thrown out or never come to light. That cocksucker Cuomo did it in 2013 after Sandy Hook with his Safe Act. As a NYS PP holder, they can go fuck themselves if they think I am providing them anything or letting them in my house. I will mail the permit back and my handguns will become undocumented. That fucking cunt is a tyrant as is that NYC controlled legislature. The clock is ticking for those fuckers people have had it.
Seems like things in New York only get worse, not better. New York governor, NYC mayor. New York–a place to avoid, I guess. Of course with millions of single issue voters (the “pro choice” people), who knows what will happen in November to the rest of the nation!
I got blocked at a red light here in Minneapolis today by about 200 placard-carrying pro-abortion protesters. They were just walking around a random neighborhood, chanting. No one was around to even notice them. Even if I agreed with them – which I don’t -what the fuck do they think they’re accomplishing? It looked like they were 10% “men” (if you want to call them that – young, fat, bearded slobs) and 90% women, of whom about 10% – tops – had any chance of ever being impregnated by anyone.
Uh oh Winchester,this comment is now part of the 3 year social history!
I imagine by the end of the week a lawsuit will be brought forth and put a end to this insanity!
LOL fuck em. Gonna be some mass disobedience. Even the upstate Sherrifs who do the background checks say they refuse to comply with this shit.
Oh! Now you’ve done it. No cc for you.

Just one more reason to avoid blue New York.
Another reason to avoid the likes of FB, Twitter, Dik-Dok, Instagram & more.
So, if an applicant doesn’t dabble in such social media, what is required?
Two years of emails?
Three years of internet browsing history?
Too bad the upstate law abiding gun owners who have to occasionally go into NYC are affected.
Carry concealed anyway.
Your life may depend on it.
If not now, then certainly in the very near future, the way the winds are blowing.
The alternative, if living upstate, is to move to a state more friendly to CPL applicants with easier approval guidelines.
Several counties in Oregon have been talking about seceding from Oregon and joining Idaho. Many counties in Texas would like to kick out Travis, Bexar, Harris, and Dallas counties.
You misspelled Travisty.
Even better,live in a state with no permits,you know,constitutional carry and all.
Vote with your wallet, that’s all they understand.
Pick up the shell casing and walk away.
Don’t do something stupid, like reporting it.
And if you can get a backhoe.
The idea that the U.S. will have social credit scores to determine what opportunities- and even what rights- citizens will have…
Is just a crazy conspiracy theory.
Reading the NY plans, it sounds like more than a theory.
And the constant screaming about “democracy”and”rule of law”and how “no one is above it”……..and yet this escapes “the educated”……please it sickens me how humans can be so much more……yet the desires of the flesh RULE THEM!!!
NY is Jewholmed maybe?
NEW YORKERS DESERVE HER
Nobody in New York vote for this Communist Using Normal Tactics
And she wasn’t even elected by New Yorkers as governor. She was appointed after Cuomo stepped down.
To consume children of course.
Gonna get tossed.
Challenges going in on Tuesday. Who the fuck do they think they are telling a business that they can’t allow guns unless they put up a sign. Then again, they controlled businesses with Covid, so no surprise.
They’ll just keep implementing unconstitutional laws and regulations, which will take years to go through the courts.
Jesus, is The Burning Platform social media?
Well either way, fuck them.
Clearly a precursor to getting your ass Red Flagged.
We here at TBP are all on several lists.
… with the most feared list… Stucky’s shit list.
Yes, The Burning Platform is social media and you must denounce them in a Target store, parking lot, show trial to continue receiving your Federal soc-security check / UBI / Biden Bux. Soonerthanyouthink
If they researched my interwebs history they would totally get red-pilled on niggers and joos.
This ugly, wretched nutjob will be in for a rude awakening when this “law” is struck down in its entirety.
I’ve never done social media.
Only anti-social media.
