After shootings, Hochul looks at raising age for guns in NY
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said Wednesday she wants to raise to 21 the age to legally purchase the type of weapons used in the mass shootings in Buffalo and Texas, and possibly other firearms as well.
“I don’t want 18 year olds to have guns, at least not in the state of New York,” Hochul said at a press briefing.
The Democrat said she wants to work with the state Legislature to raise the legal purchasing age for AR-style rifles “at minimum … but I’m going to take a look at everything.”
