Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Gun control hypocrisy at its best [View all]Straw Man
(6,959 posts)113. The law doesn't mention a threshold.
The Governor's website says this:
To track high-volume ammunition purchasers, the legislation will make New York the first state in the nation to track ammo purchases in real time. All dealers in ammunition must be registered with the State Police, and each sale will require both a state background check and transmission of a record of the sale to State Police, so as to enable alerts of high volume purchases.

What triggers an "alert" and who initiates it are unclear. I suppose it's up to the State Police to determine. If anything, this law will encourage "high volume purchases" because of the red tape each individual purchase will entail.
