Gov. Andrew Cuomo lauds the orders, but Congresswoman Elise Stefanik calls them unconstitutional.
âAfter four years of little more than deflection, NRA-kowtowing, thoughts, and prayers in the wake of Las Vegas, Sutherland Springs, El Paso, Parkland, and far too many more acts of gun violence, I applaud President Biden and Attorney General Garland for taking action yesterday to help keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people,â Cuomo said in a statement.
Bidenâs actions require buyers of homemade guns that often lack serial numbers to undergo background checks, and pistols with stabilizing braces like the one used in the Boulder, Colo., shooting would be classified as short-barreled rifles, which would require a federal license to own, a more thorough application process and a $200 tax under the National Firearms Act.
