New York raising age for purchasing semiautomatic weapons to 21 as part of gun law package

ALBANY — Following a pair of heinous tragedies, Gov. Hochul and state lawmakers announced a deal Tuesday on a package of bills that will tighten New York’s already strict gun laws and raise the minimum age to buy a semiautomatic rifle to 21.

The agreement comes in the wake of mass shootings at a Texas elementary school and a Buffalo supermarket that left dozens dead and prompted renewed calls for change at the national level.

Hochul said New York must step up as it remains unclear if Congress will take action.

“New York already has some of the toughest gun laws in the country, but clearly we need to make them even stronger,” the governor said in a statement.

Here's one that just shows how the antis are once they get their nose under the 2A tent. I knew it was just a matter of time.

Other bills slated for approval will eliminate the grandfathering of large-capacity ammunition feeding devices lawfully possessed prior to the enactment of the SAFE Act in 2013 or manufactured prior to 1994.
They will just find a way around it...laws don't work bro....


Not just gun laws, but laws in general.....murder is against the law and yet people still get murdered....


The governor should have passed more thoughts and prayers legislation instead

Great news for the gangs and street punks who are the darlings of the democrats and won't be affected by these laws.
 
semi-auto, not auto.
not really. Semi automatics contain an automatic function. The discharge of the casing and the reloading of the round is done automatically.

“ full automatic” is the term. That’s where the discharge of the round is done automatically as well. Otherwise, calling semi autos, autos is not that much out of line.

They seem to work on average in every state that has them and in every country in the free world.

Firearm laws can work as intended.
The reason that the US is safer than all of those other countries combined is because we have more guns than all of those countries combined...


to the extent we have issues with safety -- it is due to people living here who are not real Americans....if we ban them, we are safer
 
Do you know the difference between an automatic and semi-automatic firearm?
Let’s not pretend you do. Even the most devout gun a holic refers to semi auto pistols as an “ automatic”. Like the usual discussion of firearms, no one is an expert till you have an agreed upon glossary.

Seriously ? We aren’t. The gun violence rate in the US far surpasses everyother industrialized nation in the free world.

you just made up a big one. We even have lower life expectancy then countries with universal healthcare. You live in Oz.
 
On another thread here, someone posted a link a few days ago that included an incredible and profound statistic: Only THREE PERCENT of U.S. homicides are committed with a "rifle." The infamous "assault weapons" are a SUB-CATEGORY of "rifle."

The majority of homicides are committed with handguns.

So what can you say about the crusading legislators who are determined to limit purchases of RIFLES in order to fight "the carnage"?

Are they stupid? Are they oblivious to reality? Are they aware that the cities that have done the most to try to ban handguns have the highest homicide rates...that is to say that those legislative efforts are laughably ineffective?

Here is a quote from that linked article. (The Pew Research Center is a pretty reputable outfit):

In 2020, handguns were involved in 59% of the 13,620 U.S. gun murders and non-negligent manslaughters for which data is available, according to the FBI. Rifles – the category that includes guns sometimes referred to as “assault weapons” – were involved in 3% of firearm murders. Shotguns were involved in 1%. The remainder of gun homicides and non-negligent manslaughters (36%) involved other kinds of firearms or those classified as “type not stated.”

Won't have any effect on murders. Perhaps it will make 18 year olds refuse to join the military. Can't buy a semi auto but you can join up and use full auto. Lol, democrap logic.
 
So they are blatantly infringing upon the Constitutional rights of Americans? Age discrimination?

Discrminating against Americans that can vote and are expected to kill people for the government while serving in the military?
 
If the filthy ass government doesn't trust you own a semi auto firearm why should they trust you to vote or to serve in the military?

By the way, does the Bill of Rights say you have to earn the trust of the government before you are afforded your Constitutional rights?
 
18-year-olds have been fighting and dying in our wars for more than 200 years. It's ridiculous to say we can't trust them with weapons.

True, with lots of training in a controlled environment, with commanding officers and medics monitoring their behavior and mental health, using standardized firearms issued according to their capabilities and need, and that they don't generally carry with them to the grocery store. And then into war, which this isn't.

War is a shit show not a "controlled environment." If we trust 18-year-olds to fight and die for us in war it's wrong to say we can't trust them to be gun-owning citizens.

The training is in a controlled environment. That's why I used the term "training in a controlled environment." I'm sorry if it's confusing.
 
What irritates me is that every time there's a shooting people blame everyone with characteristics in common with the shooter.

If the shooter is a Muslim, we blame all Muslims.

If the shooter is white, we blame all whites.

This time, the shooter is 18 so they want to take guns away from all 18-year-olds.

This insanity has to stop.
