NY Gov. Hochul Pledges to Convene Legislature to Define Places One Can’t Carry Guns — SCOTUS Decision ‘Reprehensible’

Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that she is convening the legislature of New York to craft a law to combat the Supreme Court ruling to overturn a New York state law that required “proper cause” to get a concealed carry permit.

Hochul said, “Teddy Roosevelt was president when we had this law. That’s how long it goes. When you talk about historical traditions, I think that is long enough. We have had this on the books. We have been able to protect New Yorkers all of this time under this law. To have them set us back to a time where you have to consider what it was like when our Founding Fathers were writing the laws, it is absurd. It is reprehensible. It is hurtful to all of us who are on the front lines of trying to have sensible gun safety legislation.”
