Hochul signs three gun bills

Oct 29, 2021 2:02 pm

Joshua Solomon reports in the Times Union that Gov. Kathy Hochul on Oct. 28 signed three bills intended to close loopholes in the state's gun laws. The new laws prohibit the sale of anonymous "ghost guns," prohibit making or possessing real weapons made to look like child's toys, and prohibit the possession of unfinished gun frames and receivers by anyone other than a licensed gunsmith. "We're just getting started, and we're not going to stop until we know that every New Yorker feels safe and secure, and that individuals do not feel that their only option in life is to turn to crime," Hochul said. Two other bills focused on researching gun violence were also delivered to her on Oct. 27, but she has not yet signed those into law. Read more about this story in the Times Union.
