New York, which as of 2020 has the fifth-lowest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/nchs\/pressroom\/sosmap\/firearm_mortality\/firearm.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gun homicide rate<\/a> in the nation, already bans people under 21 from owning handguns.<\/p>\n<p>The mass shootings have galvanized blue-state politicians to restrict gun rights. In addition to Hochul&#8217;s moves, Democratic legislators in California and New Jersey are considering additional gun restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>New York&#8217;s under-21 ban is startlingly similar to a California law that a U.S. circuit court <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/05\/11\/court-californias-under-21-gun-restrictions-unconstitutional-00031894\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">struck down<\/a> in May.
