That's right folks, in New York, Buffalo more to the fact, the Police Chief is keeping an eye on the local tracking death certificates being issued.
What an Asshole, sure there's a law in that state, 15 days after the death a the gun owner you must Apply to register the gun in your name or sell, but they don't tell you about that and it does not pertain to Long guns ( Rifles ), but they don't tell you that either, they just come and knock on your door and tell you to give up the guns.
Money maker, that's what that is.

In Buffalo, New York, police have begun confiscating legal guns whose owners have died. Police Commissioner Daniel Derrenda said the move is designed to ensure guns “don’t end up in the wrong hands.” The action is in compliance with a New York state law that has until now rarely been enforced.
The police department is tracking death certificates in order to identify deceased gun owners. Under the law, the estate of the deceased person has 15 days to either dispose of the guns or relinquish them to authorities, who are permitted to hold the weapons for up to two years. If family members violate the law, they can face misdemeanor charges and up to a year in jail.

Tom King, president of the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, says:
They’re quick to say they’re going to take the guns. But they don’t tell you the law doesn’t apply to long guns, or that these families can sell (their family members’) pistol or apply to keep it.
Second amendment advocates point out that in this case, registration does lead to confiscation. BearingArms.com responded to the action by saying authorities could “use the relative’s pistol permit as the proverbial camel’s nose under the tent to get at every firearm they can, hoping to remove all the firearms from the home while the family is at their most vulnerable.”
