2022 NY Governor's race: on Gun Control


Andrew Giuliani: Against strengthening state gun laws after mass shooting

In response to the mass shooting in Buffalo, New York gubernatorial hopeful Andrew Giuliani told Capital Tonight that he wants to re-introduce the death penalty, ensure a mental health task force proposed by Republican Assembly convenes, and revisit the state's Red Flag Law. He is not, however, an advocate of strengthening the state's gun control laws.

Kathy Hochul: State senate too afraid of NRA to vote on "red flag" bill

Hochul ratcheted up the pressure on the state Senate, claiming legislators were too "afraid" of the NRA to vote on a proposed gun control bill. The bill, dubbed the "red flag" bill, will give teachers, school officials, family members and police officers the right to petition judges if they believe someone who has access to guns is dangerous. "It's a simple common-sense measure that will save the lives of students," Hochul said.

Kathy Hochul: Illegal guns are from out of state; need a national response

HOCHUL: In the state of New York, what he was able to buy was an AR-15, but he was able to enhance the magazine capacity. You can't have that many rounds purchased legally here in New York. But you just go over to Pennsylvania. Go to a gun show. This is why I started a nine state gun interjection task force because we know most of the illegal guns being used on the streets of New York City and now on the streets of Buffalo are coming from out of state. We need a national response.
