“I don’t want 18-year-olds to have guns,” Hochul said at a meeting of the Interstate Task Force on Illegal Guns (what the HELL is this about?), which includes law enforcement representatives from nine states.
“I want to work with the legislature to do something that is far more common sense than we have right now. At minimum, the AR-15s, but I’m going to take a look at everything,” she added.
“I introduced the comprehensive Gun Safety 3.0 package over a year ago and this moment demands that the Legislature finally take action,” he said, adding that the “proposed laws are hardly revolutionary.”
“They would mandate safe storage of guns. They would ensure that those seeking to buy a gun are actually trained in the safe handling of that gun,“ Murphy said. “They would give police tools to better track the paths of firearms used to commit crimes. They would prohibit the sale of weapons that can bring down helicopters.”
The package of reform policies would also raise the minimum age to purchase long guns to 21, ban .50 caliber firearms and close the loophole (how is that a "loophole"? What if you're moving to NJ, and own guns in your current state? How does this stop a bad guy?)for importing out-of-state firearms, the governor’s office said.
