Goldens gun legislation
State Senator Marty Golden has introduced legislation that he says will help eliminate community guns from neighborhood streets.
The bill was endorsed by Richmond County District Attorney Daniel Donovan, State Senator Andrew Lanza of Staten Island and Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis during a special press conference at the Staten Island District Attorneys Office on October 5.
The legislation would increase penalties for the availability, sale, exchange, sharing, giving or disposal of a community gun — one stored in a public or quasi-public place that no one lays claim to, and which is often used by gang members if it is utilized to commit crimes.
