NEW YORK—New Yorkers could be given access to an online gun offender registry, similar to the sex offender registry, if an amendment to bill is passed by City Council.
Public officials gathered on the steps of City Hall on Wednesday, Aug. 21, to talk about amending the bill sponsored by Council Member Peter Vallone Jr., which would extend access of the gun offender registry to the public. At present the registry is accessible only to the NYPD.
Valone will introduce the amendment at tomorrow’s City Council stated meeting, and said it could be enacted as early as January next year.
