纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔(Kathy Hochul)周三详细介绍了她将在定于周四举行的特别州立法会议上提出的枪支安全立法。
Hochul将会提出一系列的想法来回应上周的最高法院的判决废除了一项限制有“正当理由”的人在公共场合秘密携带手枪的州法律。
“还有更多的事情要做,这是一场全国性的危机。在纽约这里,太多的人正在失去生命,但作为这个州的州长,我不会休息,直到我们尽我们所能一劳永逸地结束这种枪支流行病,”Hochul说。
Hochul说,这项立法将确定一些“敏感地点”,不允许人们携带隐藏的枪支。
这些位置包括:联邦、州、地方政府大楼;健康和医疗设施;儿童聚集的地方,如托儿所、公园、动物园和游乐场;地铁、公交等公共交通;投票站;和教育机构,Hochul说。
Hochul说,如果拟议的法案签署成为法律,所有私营企业将被默认归类为“禁止公开携带”区域,除非企业主张贴标志,表明人们可以携带隐藏的武器。
Hochul提出的立法还将加强取消资格标准的清单,禁止那些有危险行为史的人获得许可证。
该法律还将在现有的安全储存法律中增加一项车辆要求,要求枪支所有者在旅行时锁好枪支,以减少从汽车中盗窃枪支的行为。
家中有18岁或18岁以下儿童的枪支拥有者将不得不为他们的枪支找到安全的存放处,将它们锁起来。
Hochul说,这些法律将改善州警察背景调查的信息共享。
霍楚尔说,持枪者还将被要求接受超过15小时的面对面培训,以获得隐蔽携带许可证。
Hochul说,法律将要求对所有购买需要许可证的枪支弹药进行背景调查。枪支拥有者在购买时必须出示他们的许可证。
特别立法会议将在一个月后举行一名持枪歹徒杀死了10名黑人在纽约布法罗的一家超市,发生了一起据称是出于种族动机的袭击。
New York governor to unveil new gun legislation in response to Supreme Court ruling
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Wednesday detailed what is in gun safety legislation she will propose during a special state legislative session scheduled for Thursday.
Hochul is set to propose a slew of ideas in response to last week's Supreme Court decision to strike down a state law that had limited the concealed carry of handguns in public to people who had "proper cause."
"There's more to do, this is a nationwide crisis. Too many lives are being lost here in New York, but I will not rest, as the governor of this state, until we have done everything in our power to end this gun epidemic once and for all," Hochul said.
The legislation will define a number of "sensitive locations" where people will not be allowed to carry concealed guns, Hochul said.
Those locations include: federal, state, local government buildings; health and medical facilities; places where children gather like daycares, parks, zoos and playgrounds; public transportation like subways and buses; polling places; and educational institutions, Hochul said.
If the proposed bill is signed into law, all private businesses will be classified as "no open carry" areas by default, unless business owners post signage indicating that people are allowed to carry concealed weapons, Hochul said.
Hochul's proposed legislation will also strengthen the list of disqualifying criteria, banning those with a history of dangerous behavior from being able to get a permit.
The laws will also add a vehicle requirement to existing safe storage laws, requiring gun owners to lock up their guns when they are traveling to cut down on gun thefts from cars.
Gun owners with children in their homes aged 18 or younger will have to get safe storage for their guns, keeping them locked up.
The laws will improve information sharing for state police background checks, Hochul said.
Gun owners will also be required to get over 15 hours of in-person training to receive a concealed carry permit, Hochul said.
Hochul said the laws will require a background check for all purchases of ammunition for guns that need a permit. Gun owners will have to show their permit at the time of purchase.
The special legislative session comes over a month after a gunman killed 10 Black people at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, in an allegedly racially motivated attack.
