In the wake of the two massacres the State Assembly put aside more routine tasks this week for a wide ranging conversation on what New York can do to increase the safety of our citizens. Governor Kathy Hochul has asked us to consider legislation to change the age to buy a semi-automatic weapon like an AR-15 style rifle from 18 to 21 years old. However, a Federal appeals court just struck down a similar law in California.
We will take action, and after the Memorial Day Holiday my colleagues and I will return to the Capitol for more meetings on what action we can take that would be upheld when challenged in the courts.
