Buffalo

Governor Kathy Hochul signed ten gun control bills into law, including a provision that raised the age to buy a semi-automatic rifle from age 18 to 21.

Two and a half weeks after a mass shooting in Buffalo killed 10 people, the New York State Legislature is acting on measures to close loopholes in the state’s gun laws and to prohibit anyone under the age of 21 from buying a semi-automatic rifle.

New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Connecticut Senators Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal joined several Democratic leaders outside the U.S. Capitol building Thursday to demand gun safety legislation. The rally comes after the recent shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas.

The Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act, which was reintroduced last September, would establish stronger penalties for transporting guns to people who are not legally allowed to have a gun. U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand also wants big tech companies to be held accountable for allowing the spread of extremism online.

Gov. Kathy Hochul proposed a deal Monday that would give the Buffalo Bills $850 million in public funds to help the team build a new $1.4 billion stadium.
