A bill signed by the government. Cathy Hockle says that after passing through both rooms significantly, the state still imposes too many restrictions on who can get the gun and where it can be carried. It is almost certain to elicit more legal challenges from advocates.
Democratic Hochul has recalled Democratic-controlled state legislatures to Albany to tackle the law after last week’s High Court ruling overturned the state’s long-standing licensing restrictions.
Proponents said a law that would come into effect in September. One strikes the right balance between adhering to the Supreme Court’s ruling and keeping weapons out of the hands of those who may use them recklessly or for criminal purposes.
However, some Republicans argued that the law violated the constitutional right to keep armed, in opposition to the stricter restrictions. They predicted that it would also be capsized.
In particular, new state regulations require people applying for a pistol license to flip through a list of social media accounts so that authorities can confirm their “personality and behavior.”
The applicant must show that he has “the essential personality, temperament, and judgment necessary to deposit a weapon and use it only in a way that does not endanger himself or others.”
As part of that assessment, applicants are required to submit a list of social media accounts that they have maintained over the last three years.

Gun advocates and Republican leaders were furious that the law violated not only Article 2 of the Constitutional Amendment, but also the right to privacy and free speech.
“New Yorker constitutional freedom has been trampled,” said State Republican Chairman Nick Langworthy.
The bill approved by lawmakers does not specify whether applicants need to provide licensees with access to private social media accounts that are not open to the public.
People applying for a license to carry a pistol also provide references to four characters, 16 hours of firearm safety training and 2 hours of practice, regular background checks, and spouse. , Cohabitation partner, or other adult living in the family.
Hochul’s chief attorney, Elizabeth Fine, claimed that the state had set a “very clear set of eligibility criteria” and said the law included an appeal process.
The bill, which was signed on Friday, also amends a recently passed law banning the sale of certain bulletproof vests to the general public. Previous legislation erroneously excluded many types of body armor, including those worn by gunmen who killed 10 blacks in a racist attack on Buffalo’s supermarket.
Last week’s Supreme Court ruling broke a 109-year-old state law that required people to show an extraordinary threat to their safety in order to qualify for a license to carry pistols out of their homes. rice field. The restrictions generally restricted licenses to those who have worked for law enforcement agencies or who have other special needs that go beyond everyday public security concerns.
Under the new system, the state does not permit permission from people who have been criminally convicted within the last five years for drunk driving, intimidation, or driving during three assaults.
Nor is it allowed to bring firearms to a long list of “delicate places”, such as Times Square, which is crowded with New York City tourists.
The list includes schools, universities, government buildings, places where people gather for public protests, medical facilities, places of worship, libraries, public playgrounds and parks, day care centers, summer camps, addictions and mental health. Centers, shelters, public transportation, bars, theaters, stadiums, museums, playgrounds, casinos.
New York also prohibits people from bringing guns into business or work unless the owner puts up a sign to welcome the gun. People who bring their guns to places without such signs may be prosecuted for felony.
This is the opposite approach to many other states where companies that do not want to have a gun usually need to post a sign indicating that their weapons are not allowed.
Gun defenders said the law violated the rights upheld by the Supreme Court.
“Now I’m going to let the pizzeria owner decide if I can express my constitutional rights,” Sen said. Andrew Lanza, Republican of Staten Island. “This is shameful. See you in court.”
