Yea that will stop them, lol

So, no drinking, driving, VOTING, or military service for New Yorkers under 21 as well?

The reason the drinking age changed to 21 is that we know that the most vital development of the brain happens from 18-21! With kids abusing alcohol AND pot this is a Negative impact in this development!

So 18 year old can be handed m27( an actual weapon of war) and sent to hell holes around the world but an 18 year old here cannot buy a rifle that shoots one bullet per trigger pull?

In my opinion, a person who owns a rifle without Government’s regulatory restrictions, the rifle he owns can be used anytime against any person whether an automatic rifle or semi-automatic rifle , thats encourages to be used against any person. I hope a peace for everyone.

Why not ban them altogether. It is f NY?

See? It's pretty simple if you want it to be.

That's a start.

MsMariaT Why aren’t they outlawed in NY State?

You can get tricked into using one of those things at 18 to die in an oil war, but not for yourself to use? What the hell?

After reading through the Bills, GovKathyHochul nydems why out of the 10 bills passed today arent there harsher penalties for illegal use/carrying of fire arms? Dont you think we need to held people responsible for their actions? Why only people that follow laws get punished?

Great 👍 that's a start

This will do absolutely zero for the crime problems in New York.

The last time NY pasted major gun legislation 'The Safe Act' turned out to be a mess. In the end only the criminals who don't follow laws will benefit. GovKathyHochul nydems dont fix Bail Reform that prevents prosecution of criminals.

That’s great, now address the high crime rate in NY city? You have a mayor & DA soft on crime by letting felons out w/out bail!! Murders, armed robberies, looting of businesses are up & cops are hamstrung because of no bail & quick release for criminals.

Great - others should follow

What does any American need automatic guns? Are they going to line up Doves and shoot them at once? Or Deer? or Moose? Single Round guns should be only ones allowed.

📢INTOLERANCE, RACISM IS THE CAUSE OF ALL PROBLEMS IN THIS GOD FORSAKEN LAND CALLED USA🚩

Is everybody missing the f****** point about gun control and responsible gun owners it seems to me everybody's missing the goddamn point. Not everybody could afford a million dollar home or a super bowl ticket not everybody should be able to afford an AR-15 firearm.

Sounds fair. Just like the drinking age

Oh well have to pay a little more on the street for one now. Damn it!

The Attorney General, acting swiftly and definitively, identifies three gun shops selling AR-15 to 12 year olds and demands they stop. -full stop-

Now do it for over 21 yr olds too. No one, who is not in the military, needs a military grade weapon.

That a start but still not enough

Where the good guys live

Does that apply to members of the military?

did they raise the age to enlist in the military to 21 too?

Why…….so when they are caught with one (as most criminals don’t buy them legally) they will get a slap on the wrist and sent back out on the streets to find another one and do what they want? Maybe actually promoting law and order should be a better start!

But they can buy Bolt action and Shotguns? Some people have no idea what they are doing. What about the Military age in the US? is this going up? What about Voting?

focus on the fixing the failed policy in ny and the mental health . it takes a twisted mind to carry out such a heartless act. its not the gun its the mental ill sick twisted person carrying out the act. THINK

Way to go

The Michigan GQP blocked even the idea of a vote on Background Checks and Locking up your weapon at home bills. The wont even discuss it. 2 many ammosexuals here.

How much gun violence is a result of illegally obtained guns Criminals don’t follow laws!!!

What is taking TEXAS so long tedcruz

No complaints here

Then those legislators should go to war instead of the young people sent to fight their battles

No problem. Now left leaning Axios please explain why the man that shot up the medical center in Tulsa had a number of crimes he commited and he was banned BY LAW from buying a so called weapon of war .

Ok, but do more

Not enough. Semi automatic rifles should be banned. Period

Oh goodness , so now only over 21's will be able to easily carry out mass shootings. Under 21's will have to ask a friend to help them.

Ban the weapon. Those who want guns get them. Just like booze and cigarettes

NewYorkisProLife

Perhaps a good start, but why under-21? It should be banned, full stop!

Imagine being told you are mature enough to joined the military at 18, handle millions of dollars of sophisticated weapons, go to war & die, but not own a rifle until you’re 21. It’s not about gun safety. It’s about control.

Oh, I feel so much safer that the much older & wiser 21 y/o's are buying guns of mass destruction.

DomesticEnemiesOfTheConstitutionStrikeAgain

What happens now, they turn 21 and the violence starts up again just at a later date

Now ban all semis and assault rifles GovKathyHochul .

Fingerprints ID triggers

The age should be raised to 40.

So now instead of paying a 21 yr old to buy them beer and smokes… Add AR-15 s to list.

😂 it’s literally so easy to buy them still. Good thing random-murderers care so much about not breaking the law. Oh well I guess they have to pretend to do something

Good!

Crime riden New York. Fix the real problems - criminals. How many criminals have been released by liberal Democrat judges refusing to jail criminals with illegal guns.

I guess no one learned from the Boston marathon bombers? 😕 It is intention that gets the job done! And that was just a pressure cooker and 2 younger fellas.

یعنی بالای بیست و یک سال میتونید تشریف ببرید و یک عدد M4A1 carbine فول اتومات زیبا با سی و یک تیر 5.56 میل تهییه کنید

Anyway , how hard is it to get a gun in New York at any age atm , so what does this even do ?

You do you new York we in Texas don't care

Hope the rest of the states follow suit. GovPritzker

Good

But, 22 cool. Not the problem, maybe the nut jobs that vote for ...

how about banning semi-automatic rifles altogether? now that’s an idea!

'Shall not be infringed' is a very hard concept for the libs it seems
