Statement From Governor Kathy Hochul

“Today’s Supreme Court decision reinforces a simple point: common-sense gun safety laws save lives.

"In New York, we have some of the nation's strongest laws to keep people safe from gun violence and protect survivors. Our nation-leading efforts to expand Red Flag Laws and restrict access to deadly weapons of war are continuing to improve public safety. And in this past year's Budget, we invested more than $40 million to crack down on abusers like Zackey Rahimi and provide resources for survivors.

"But our work is not over. The Bruen decision, and countless other lawsuits filed in its wake, are a chilling reminder that our gun safety laws are consistently under attack. New York will not stand by, and I’m committed to doing everything in my power to keep New Yorkers safe.”
