New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said on Wednesday that she wants to work with the legislature to raise the age limit for some gun purchases in the Empire State.

“I have a question to ask: How does an 18-year-old purchase an AR-15 in the State of New York, State of Texas? That person’s not old enough to buy a legal drink,” she said at a meeting with the Interstate Task Force on Illegal Guns. “I want to work with the legislature to change that. I want it to be 21.”
