ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she is bringing state lawmakers back on Thursday to consider gun safety legislation in response to the Supreme Court striking down key portions of the state’s licensing law.

The court on Thursday overturned the state law that required that people applying for a concealed carry permit demonstrate a specific need to have a gun in public. The court’s conservative majority said that violated the Second Amendment, which they interpreted as protecting people’s right to carry a gun for self-defense outside the home.
Hochul called the decision “reckless and reprehensible” as she announced she will convene a special session.
“Since the decision was released, I have been working around the clock with our partners in the legislature to craft gun safety legislation in response to this ruling that will protect New Yorkers,” she said in a prepared statement.
New York officials are considering restrictions on concealed carry in “sensitive locations,” such as government buildings and bars. They’re also looking at implementing specific training for permit applicants, among other options.
She has no solution to stop criminals. She’s evil
The media should stop spouting democratic party propganda, they aren’t gun safety laws they are gun control laws, democarst want to restrict law abiding citizens from exercising their constitutional rights while freeing all criminals onto the streets.
Vote for Republicans and get a person that will do something for us not a Democrat that is off the wall that thinks it’s all about them
Wicked white lady.
Make actual safety laws, not bans.
NY need to collect enough signatures to pressure Albany to repeal the bail reform. Vote every lefty out of office in Albany. Once every offender is locked up, then NY means serious business as a deterrence, not just a slap on wrist. Guns does not hurt people, only those who use it.
Just for the record. Forget about getting a handgun.. This terrible city does everything it can to prevent you from legally owning a long gun like a shotgun for your home. They create every obstacle possible for you not to have a safe firearm in your house. And bear in mind the same politicians that push for complete gun control have their own personal security detail armed to the teeth..
Forget about getting a handgun. This city makes it impossible for person to get a legal longon AKA shotgun. They create every obstacle possible for the civilian so he or she aren’t able to defend themselves legally which is the constitutional right. And the same politicians and lawmakers that rail against guns have an abundant security team who are armed to the teeth
Just make sure it complies with federal court order. Or you’ll be back in supremes country
