Governor Hochul wants to raise the age to legally buy an AR-15-style rifle, and possibly other guns.
She says the common thread in the Buffalo and Texas mass shootings was that the suspect was 18 and legally bought those firearms -- an AR-15 in Texas and a Bushmaster XM-15 in New York.
She wants to raise the purchase age to 21.
A similar law in California was struck down in court.
She's also proposing that all local police agencies in the state report the recovery of any gun to the state clearinghouse within 24 hours.
