The New York state legislature is proposing a bill that would force a gun permit applicant to reveal all of his or her social media posts in the past three years.
Senate Bill S51001 passed the state Senate in a 43-20 vote on Friday and, if signed into law, would require gun applicants to provide “a list of former and current social media accounts of the applicant from the past three years to confirm the information regarding the applicants [sic] character and conduct” among other “moral character” checks.
