AN ACT to amend the penal law, in relation to a ban on undetectable
firearms, undetectable firearm receivers and undetectable ammunition
magazines
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known as the "undetectable
firearms act".
§ 2. Findings. The legislature finds that:
(1) Federal Bureau of Investigation data shows that more than fifty-
seven percent of the murders that occurred in New York state in 2011
were perpetrated with a firearm;
(2) digital manufacturing technologies, including computer numerical
control mills, 3-dimensional printers and laser cutting machines are
quickly advancing so that they may soon be used to fabricate fully oper-
ational firearm components; and
(3) some commercially available digital manufacturing technologies can
manufacture these components using materials that cannot be detected by
traditional metal detectors or x-ray imaging machines.
§ 3. The penal law is amended by adding a new section 265.50 to read
as follows:
§ 265.50 BAN ON UNDETECTABLE FIREARMS, UNDETECTABLE FIREARM RECEIVERS
AND UNDETECTABLE AMMUNITION MAGAZINES.
1. IT SHALL BE UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO KNOWINGLY MANUFACTURE,
IMPORT, SELL, SHIP, DELIVER, TRANSFER, RECEIVE OR POSSESS:
(A) ANY FIREARM:
(I) THAT, AFTER REMOVAL OF GRIPS, STOCKS AND MAGAZINES, IS NOT DETECT-
ABLE BY WALK-THROUGH METAL DETECTORS; OR
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
