New York passes tough new gun control laws

“The NY Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act, or NY SAFE, includes a full ban on sales of military-style rifles.  It reduces the maximum magazine size from 10 rounds to seven and extends the requirement for background checks to all sales, including private deals.  An existing law allowing judges to order mentally ill people to get treatment was strengthened.  Opponents questioned whether focusing on assault rifles was wise, given that handguns are used far more frequently in crimes. They also accused Cuomo and his allies of violating the US constitution’s guarantee of the right to bear arms.”
