A big step forward for Firearm Safety and Suicide Prevention in New York! We're proud of the passage of recent critical legislation, signed into law by Governor Kathy Hochul, that requires firearms dealers to provide warnings about the increased risk of suicide, domestic violence, and accidental deaths—especially among children—associated with gun ownership. This law, championed by Senator Michael Gianaris and Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, also ensures that individuals purchasing firearms are directed to vital resources like the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, providing immediate help for those in distress.
