Michael Gormley is reporting for Newsday Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Senate Democrats said November 8, one of the first acts of the new majority legislature will be to consider more gun control measures. “We already have the strongest gun safety laws in the nation, and in the upcoming legislative session we will take additional steps to make our laws even stronger to keep our communities safe,” Cuomo said. Democrats, who will be the majority in the state Senate come January, also promised action. They have a long list of gun control bills introduced this year, but were blocked by the then-Republican majority. The measures include creating “extreme risk protection orders” that could confiscate guns from people deemed by a judge to be a threat, a 10-day waiting period to buy a firearm, and more. Cuomo also wants to raise the age of purchasing a firearm from 18 to 21 years of age. Senate Democrats agree with the Democrat-led Assembly on most of the legislation, which could mean quick passage, perhaps as early as January. Read the full story in Newsday.
