New York Gun-Owners Getting Letters Instructing Them To Turn In Their Weapons

Thanks to New York’s gun registry, officials know exactly what kinds of guns residents have and where these people live. Due to changes in New York’s gun laws with the passage of the misnamed SAFE Act, many residents are now in possession of certain “unlawful” firearms which were previously legal.

- A requirement for firearm permit holders to fill out a form to keep the state from publicly identifying them
