US: NY legislators rewrite gun laws after SCOTUS ruling

New York would require people applying for a handgun license to turn over a list of their social media accounts so officials could verify their "character and conduct" under a bill being considered Friday by the state Legislature. The provision was part of a proposed redesign of the state's firearms licensing laws hammered out by lawmakers after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down rules severely limiting who could get a permit to carry a handgun outside their home. A bill advanced by Democratic leaders would eliminate the most strict barriers to getting a permit but also impose new requirements for applicants. As part of that assessment of good character, the bill says, applicants have to turn over a list of any social media accounts they have had in the past three years "to confirm the information regarding the applicant's character and conduct."
