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".
  S 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.
  S 3. The penal law is amended by adding a new section 265.50  to  read
as follows:
S 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.
                                                           LBD10881-04-3
