Tomorrow, February 18, the Senate Judiciary Committee may consider Senate Bill 515. This important legislation, would prohibit and punish a person other than a law- enforcement officer who knowingly solicits, persuades, encourages or entices a firearm or ammunition dealer or private seller to violate firearm sales laws. SB 515 is intended to prevent gun dealer entrapment schemes, such as those orchestrated by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
