Democrats in the New York Senate on Tuesday unveiled a host of measures that range from banning bump stocks and expanded waiting periods to establishing Extreme Risk Protection Orders.
The proposals hyped this week would stretch background checks to 10 days, ban undetectable firearms, allow lawsuits against gun manufacturers, fund research into gun violence, and add a wide range of new laws to the books in New York. Proponents of the bills say they are aimed at increasing public safety while standing up to what they term “the corporate gun lobby.”
“Enacting this common-sense legislation will help save lives by keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals and banning tools to make legal guns more dangerous,” said Senate Democratic Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousin in a press conference. The legislation includes:

S.3355, by Sen. Liz Krueger, would mandate guns not in use be locked up or otherwise secured under penalty of law. Krueger has had similar legislation turned away in the past.
S.4363, by Sen. Roxanne Persaud, would create a taxpayer-funded “Firearm Violence Research Institute”
