NY governor signs law raising age to own semiautomatic rifle – The Associated Press

Governor of New York Kathy Hochul signed 10 bills passed by state lawmakers last week in the wake of the mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde, Texas. The legislation bans people under 21 from buying semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15-style weapon used in the Buffalo attack.

The legislation will also require licenses for semiautomatic rifle buyers, and restrict sales of bullet-resistant vests and armor to certain professions.

New York passed tough new gun laws last week after two mass shootings involving 18-year-old gunmen. The governor said the state will continue to invest in the prevention of gun-related crimes by partnering with local communities and putting pressure on Congress.

New Yorkers face stiffer barriers to buying bulletproof vests and body armor, but state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins dismissed concerns about how the new law would affect ordinary New Yorkers.

New York’s red flag law was tweaked by newly signed legislation, and a threat of mass harm is now a crime punishable by up to a year in jail. Other measures aim to prevent gun crimes associated with gang violence that has occurred at a faster clip within the five boroughs.

New York Democrats used the gun control push to vilify the GOP ahead of elections this November, and ordinary New Yorkers said they hope new laws will help curb gun violence.

Man Drowns In Lake After Officers Refuse To Help Him

Bodycam shows Arizona officers stand by while man drowns, begs for help – New York Post

Police were responding to a reported disturbance between a couple when one of the people jumped into the lake. The police told the man not to swim in the lake, but the man took a few strokes out from the shore before he drowned.

A 12-minute video shows police talking to Sean Bickings and his wife near the Tempe City of the Arts and the Tempe Town Lake on May 28. Bickings told police he planned to drown in the lake.

Bickings was allegedly trying to escape arrest by swimming. When he was unable to swim to a nearby pylon when he was instructed to do so, an officer told him he wouldn’t be helped and that another officer was getting a boat.

The woman he was with told the officers to save Bickings when she saw that he hadn’t swam to the surface in too long of a time. She tried to jump off the railing to save the man, but was stopped by police.

A police body-cam video shows Sean Bickings talking to officers before he jumped into Tempe Town Lake. The video cuts out before Bickings is heard struggling in the water.
