The U.S. Supreme Court said “no” this week <\/a>to a challenge against New York’s new regs governing ammo purchases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now effective, the law mandates that gun retailers coordinate with New York State Police for background checks, diverging from the previously utilized National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the state imposes background checks and levies fees of $9 and $2.50 on both ammunition and firearm purchases, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The law additionally calls for periodic onsite examinations of firearms dealers to ensure adherence to regulatory standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro-gunners in New York tried to put the new requirements on pause last month. Justice Clarence Thomas agreed to put it under consideration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Justice Sonia Sotomayor had dismissed a comparable plea just a day before the new rules were implemented on Sept. 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
