Kathy Hochul is holding press conferences bragging about growing support for her gun control agenda here in Albany — exactly what we’ve been warning about for weeks now.
This is Hochul’s standard playbook.
Hold press conferences. Get the media involved. Work behind the scenes to whip votes for a coordinated package of gun control bills. This is happening right now.
And as we’ve been warning you, once they believe they have the votes locked in, these bills can move very fast. That’s exactly where we are right now.
Here in Albany, Kathy Hochul’s gun control agenda is no longer centered on just one bill.
It is a coordinated package designed to layer restriction upon restriction until lawful gun ownership becomes nearly impossible for gun owners who live here in New York State.
Several major gun control bills are active and eligible to move between now and adjournment:
👉 S. 399 — banning the sale of Glock handguns in New York State just because criminals use them
👉 S. 362 — forcing us to wait 10 days to buy any firearm in New York State which puts innocent people in danger
👉 A. 360 — mandating a mental health exam just to purchase a firearm, which is designed to end gun rights
👉 S. 4277 — banning .50 caliber rifles and laying the groundwork to expand bans to other hunting calibers
👉 S. 5974 — forcing gun owners to purchase $1,000,000 in civil liability insurance simply to own a firearm
This is not random legislation; this is a plan for step-by-step disarmament.
One bill delays your purchase.
Another mandates psychological screening.
Another forces registration and bans specific firearms.
Another requires insurance to own a gun.
Step by step, year by year, Albany Democrats try to tighten control over who can own firearms and under what conditions.
Governor Hochul despises an armed population. She pushes confiscation and registration bills constantly — anything she can do to disarm us one step at a time.
And right now, Hochul and her allies are working behind the scenes to whip votes in support of this gun control package.
That’s how Albany operates.
Votes are counted in private. Pressure is applied inside caucus meetings. Leadership makes sure the numbers are there before anything ever reaches the Senate floor. Once they believe they have the votes locked in, legislation can move very quickly.
That is why sustained pressure right now is critical.
