New York’s governor on June 6 signed 10 bills related to efforts to prevent shootings, including legislation that raises the minimum age to obtain semiautomatic rifles from 18 to 21.
The package also included bills that make it illegal for most people to buy or sell body armor, expand the so-called red flag law that enables courts to strip certain people of their right to own guns, and force social media companies that operate in New York to provide and maintain mechanisms for reporting “hateful conduct” on their platforms.
