Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul called for new laws Thursday to address reported rule changes coming from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) that could allow for online firearms sales.<\/p>\n

ATF originally proposed the new rule on \u201cnon-over-the-counter\u201d sales by Federal Firearm License dealers May 8, with the agency seeking to alter its regulations to account for technological advances since 1993, when the Brady Act was signed into law by then-President Bill Clinton, allowing online orders and for the Form 4473 and National Instant Check System (NICS) to be run remotely instead of in-person. Hochul accused the Trump administration of increasing the risks to the public in a Thursday statement in which she called for legislation to ensure that such sales would not be permitted in New York.

\u201cTime and time again, we see the Trump Administration concede to the gun lobby, and these rollbacks are yet another giveaway that will have devastating and dangerous effects across the country,\u201d Hochul claimed.\u201cWhile the federal government paves the way for increased firearm trafficking and putting guns in the hands of those who should not have them, New York State is taking action to blunt their efforts by bolstering our nation-leading gun laws and committing to closing the loopholes that put lives in jeopardy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ATF\u2019s proposed rule has led to comments from some self-described \u201csmall\u201d FFLs who feared the change could push them out of business.<\/p>\n

Hochul\u2019s announcement drew praise from a former ATF official who now works for Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun-control organization founded by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank Governor Hochul for the steps New York is taking to protect its communities from gun trafficking and I want to encourage all local and state leaders to step up and follow her example,\u201d Everytown Senior Firearms Industry Advisor Marianna Mitchem said in the release from Hochul\u2019s office. \u201cIt is deeply disappointing that the agency I dedicated my career to has decided to cater to the gun industry rather than properly regulate it. But I am hopeful that with actions like those announced today, our communities will not be the ultimate victims of this Administration\u2019s dangerous decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

New York recently snuck legislation banning Glocks and a \u201cfirst in the nation\u201d law targeting the use of 3D printers to manufacture firearms or firearms parts into its budget bill signed by Hochul in May.<\/p>\n
