New York law enforcement officials are condemning sweeping new laws on gun ownership that were rushed through the state Legislature and signed into law in response to the U.S. Supreme Court striking down the state’s tough concealed carry gun permitting system.

The officials say the new legislation will be difficult to enforce and may be unconstitutional.
