NEW YORK — A state lawmaker is proposing a change to New York’s gun laws to allow authorities to search social media for potential red flags before approving a handgun license.

State Senator Kevin Parker’s bill would mandate that applicants provide investigators with their Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter and Instagram passwords and access to their Google, Yahoo and Bing searches.

The Brooklyn Democrat wants investigators to look at the last three years of an applicant’s social media postings and a year of their search histories for “any good cause for the denial of a license,” such as racial slurs, threats of violence and terrorism-related posts.

Same for government “servants,” I hasten to add.

[Texas Fossil]

Yes. Absolutely.

[Texas Fossil]

ComDem logic? If you are that old, you have no rights.

Headshake.

[elcid1970]

“Anger management issues” my foot; Parker is a psychopath. Of course he wants his political enemies disarmed, defined as any white gun owner.

[Texas Fossil]

Thank you sir.

In my opinion, most of them know, but simply don’t care.

And Many of them are Traitors. They hate the very essence of these “United States” of America.

[Texas Fossil]

How about we look at the last three years of all the State Senators’, and State Assemblymens’ social media postings, and search history

MAGA Bump!

[Texas Fossil]

He is a ComDem, he thinks he needs no further credentials.

[Texas Fossil]

I won’t ever have a problem with the NY law. I’ll never live in NY. Or near NY.

I will soon be 71, they can pound sand.

[ScottinVA]

You’re right. It won’t pass constitutional muster.

Unfortunately, the dems don't concern themselves with constitutional matters. If it's challenged, they'll just buy a judge somewhere upholding it.

[Husker24]

Where in the Constitution does it say the 2nd Amendment doesn’t apply if youve used a racial slur?

[polymuser]

My thoughts exactly: Lead by example, rats. Let us see your histories. Now.

[kiryandil]

I see. He’s a blacKKK New YorKKK DemoKKKrat.

[mass55th]

I’m wondering if he isn’t a member of the Nation of Islam. He seems to be very supportive of Islam in general.

[BuffaloJack]

Governor Cuomo won’t be satisfied until New York State becomes China.

[Texas Fossil]

Accurate point. But this threat is not just the 2nd amendment, it becomes a fishing expedition tool to look for any crime. Real or imagined.

[Texas Fossil]

I don’t live in NY and am pretty certain I never will.

But it is still a part of the US and subject to the constitution.

This should be a slam dunk, but today you can not take that for granted.

[ChildOfThe60s]

They do indeed know why this nation was founded. And they know what keeps us free.

They despise the reasons for the founding of this nation. And they want to take away what keeps us free.

They are traitors and tyrants.

[1Old Pro]

New York, what a disgrace.

[Scrambler Bob]

Why not demand all your computers, etc and put a Closed-circuit television in your home ,LOL
= = =

Let them cut your brain out, slice it into thin sections, and examine them for Social Improprieties.

[Ouderkirk]

They are trying to move the CCW permit from the formerly “for life” to renew every five years now, to renew every two years. Then you add this little nugget, it is a brazen attempt to deny weapon permits to anyone but a democRAT.

At this point nobody followed the “Safe Act” and now nobody is following the CCW permit regime either. Why would you want to have this sort of examination every two years.
