NY Governor Cuomo Signs Legislation Preventing School Districts from Arming Teachers
NY Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed legislation prohibiting state teachers from carrying guns in schools, and a second that streamlines the state’s gun buyback program.
"The answer to the gun violence epidemic plaguing this country has never been and never will be more guns, and today we're expanding New York's nation-leading gun safety laws to further protect our children,"Governor Cuomo said. "These measures will help slow the proliferation of guns by keeping unneeded firearms out of school zones and helping to ensure unwanted or illegal guns don't fall into dangerous hands."
