The New York City Council has given state council members a dramatic list of the state's current "delicate places" where guns can be banned after a Supreme Court decision. We will put pressure on it to expand to.Thursday left it as one of the few means available to limit pistols at Big Apple.
City legislators are looking forward to the two-page opinion prepared by Judge John Roberts and Judge Brett Kavanaugh. This seems to limit the aspects of the court's stunning, but expected 6 to 3 decision. A 100-year-old state law that dramatically restricted who could get a pistol permit.
Council Chair Adrian Adams is non-binding asking Albany to ban guns from all government buildings, schools, hospitals, places of worship, parks, day care, graveyards and other facilities. He said he would pass the resolution. Place a 1,000-foot buffer around where guns are also prohibited.
"The threat to New York City is so serious that we are formal and proactive in presenting this idea to the Legislature," said Adrienne Adams.
"We try to secure as many places as possible. Places with children and vulnerable people, including the subway that requests the state, are designated as sensitive areas, "she added.
In addition, she states that state legislators will create a population density-only standard for establishing "sensitive areas" that effectively ban the carrying of pistols in most of New York City. He said he wanted to consider it.
The majority of the Supreme Court seemed to warn from such an approach, but Adams said he hoped lawyers could devise a workaround.
"That's still what we've come up with I'm here now, "she said.
However, when asked if the goal of the buffer zone and density requirements was to effectively ban widespread pistol ownership in the five provinces again, "effective". It was a "gun-free blanket for the entire city," says Adams.
"That's the hope, that's the goal," she said.
