A bill that would restrict gun possession for those deemed to be a danger to themselves or others will improve the SAFE Act, Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s signature gun control law, he told reporters in New York City on Thursday.
The Legislature could vote as early as next week on a package of new gun control measures.
Cuomo is seeking the so-called red flag legislation as well as a ban on bump stocks, devices that allow semi-automatic weapons to mimic automatic fire, as well as a bill that would extend the waiting period to buy a firearm from three days to 10.
