WATCH: Gov. Hochul is signing a packet of gun control bills that include the banning anyone under age 21 from buying or possessing a semi-automatic rifle.

Besides raising the legal purchase age to 21, the bill would also require anyone buying a semiautomatic rifle to get a license — something now only required for handguns.Sen. Gustavo Rivera, a Bronx Democrat, rebuffed Republicans who argued the bill will inconvenience gun owners and infringe Second Amendment rights: “It is meant to be a hassle to those folks who might want to get their hands quickly on something with which they could mass murder people.

The change would largely impact areas outside New York City, which already requires permits to possess, carry and purchase any type of firearm and prohibits most applicants under 21. Elsewhere in New York, people as young as 16 can possess long guns like rifles and shotguns without a license. “After Columbine, after Sandy Hook, after Charleston, after Orlando, after Las Vegas, after Parkland, nothing has been done,” President Joe Biden said in a speech Thursday night. "This time, that can't be true. This time, we must actually do something.”

On May 11, a U.S. Appeals court panel ruled 2-1 that the state’s ban on the sale of semiautomatic weapons to adults under 21 is unconstitutional. The two judges who ruled in the majority were part of Republican President Donald Trump’s wave of conservative-approved nominees that reshaped the famously liberal court.

It’s ok to strict some law, that way 18 years old kid or 21 year old kid can’t purchase any kind of gun . But for grown adult person I don’t think so the law is already hard

Violence in New York it’s because the illegal guns that people or criminals bringing into the city . NY already has the strictest gun law in USA , it’s impossible to buy a gun in New York . They need to modified the law and not ignoring the second amendment.

Ok but banning citizens of body armor is ridiculous. Why would anyone need it? Because maybe they want to protect themselves
