Bad Driver? In Debt? Proposed NYC Law Would Ban You From Owning a Gun

[Riot]

Snipped from the actual bill...

§ 3-03 Grounds for Denial of Permit. An application for a rifle/shotgun permit may be denied [if] for lack of good moral character or other good cause, pursuant to section 10-303 of the Administrative Code, based on the following reasons:

(h) The applicant has a poor driving history, has multiple driver license suspensions or has been declared a scofflaw by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles.

(j) The applicant has been terminated from employment under circumstances that demonstrate lack of good judgment or lack of good moral character.

(k) The applicant has demonstrated an inability to safely store firearms

(m) The applicant fails to cooperate with the License Division’s investigation of her/his application or fails to provide information requested by the License Division or required by this chapter.

(n) Other information demonstrates an unwillingness to abide by the law, a lack of candor towards lawful authorities, a lack of concern for the safety of oneself and/or other persons and/or for public safety, and/or other good cause for the denial of the permit.

Some of this stuff is pretty vague...I especially like the "fails to cooperate with the License Division’s investigation of her/his application" part.

Freekin gestapo if you ask me...this is just a bill giving LEOs a laundry-list of excuses to deny you a permit.
