NY’s legislature passed legislation banning anyone under age 21 from buying or possessing a semi-automatic rifle, a major change pushed through less than three weeks after an 18-year-old used one of the guns to kill 10 people at a Buffalo supermarket
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. Sen. Kevin Thomas, a Long Island Democrat and one of the bill's sponsors, replied, “Are you advocating for federal gun control? Because that what's needed."
California's attempt to raise the legal buying age for a semiautomatic weapons has been challenged in court.
