ONE BILL PENDING IN THE SENATE WOULD HOLD GUN MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERS CIVILLY LIABLE FOR CERTAIN MARKETING PRACTICES AND FOR NOT PREVENING THE SALE OF GUNS TO STRAW PURCHASERS. ANOTHER AIMS TO PROTECT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS BY GIVING JUDGES MORE POWER TO HAVE GUNS SEIZED WHEN ISSUING AN ORDER OF PROTECTION SAYS REPRESENTATIVE MAURA HIRSCHAUER OF BATAVIA.

REPRESENTATIVE DAN SWANSON OF ALPHA DISAGREES.

THE MEASURE ALSO REQUIRES A FOID CARD TO BUY EXPLOSIVE TARGETS LIKE TANNERITE AND LETS COUNTIES BAN DISCHARGE OF A FIREARM WITHIN ONE THOUSAND YARDS OF HOMES. RIGHT NOW THAT DISTANCE IS 300 YARDS.
