General politics discussion. Keep it civil.

But it's true. Scream racist all you want, doesn't change the fact.

That useless gun law won't do a damn thing about gun crime. But hey, you did something right? And banning body armor?

The Red Flag law in New York will be expanded to allow more people, including health-care professionals, to file risk orders that could lead to weapons confiscations from potentially dangerous people. And it requires, rather than allows, law enforcement to seek an order if credible information is provided.

Semi-automatic rifles, which already difficult to obtain in New York, will added to the list to the weapons requiring a permit and will only be available to those over age 21.

Another bill would ban the sale of body armor to people outside law enforcement or other state-designated professions, and it will add microstamping to bullets ? which can better trace their origin. Social media companies will be required to improve their policies around how they respond to hateful conduct on their platforms, as well as ?maintain easily accessible mechanisms? for the public to report people.

?We will be ready to defend these laws against challenges,? Attorney General Tish James said at the news conference with Hochul and other Democratic leaders.

It's the equivalent to throwing shit at the wall to see if it sticks.

Supreme Court appears likely to void New York's gun permit law
