Details continue to come to light in the days following Sunday night's deadly shooting in Las Vegas. While motive is still unknown, one thing is clear: 64-year-old Stephen Paddock used several automatic weapons to commit the horrific crime.

In the wake of the tragedy, lawmakers across the nation are once again pushing the topic of stricter gun laws to the forefront. New York is one state where gun regulations are already on the books, but some legislators don't believe laws like the SAFE Act actually make New York safer.

"What can we do better to protect our citizens? That's a legitimate discussion that we should have, but we need to make sure that we're doing that with open eyes, that we're mindful of our constitutional rights and that we're looking at everything," said Senator Joseph Griffo (R - Rome). "Like I said, you can't neglect, in my personal opinion, mental health."

While some lawmakers want to begin those discussions immediately, others say now is not the time. Senator Tom Croci, the chairman of the Senate Majority Task Force on Counterterrorism and Public Protection, says now is a time for grieving.

"The SAFE Act is something that came up after a terrible tragedy in United States history, and those are not the best times to have a sober discussion about safety. I don't think that restricting someone's constitutional rights is ever a good thing," said Croci.

But there are legislators who believe the SAFE Act is working. Senator David Valesky (D - Syracuse) says there isn't much more New York State can do as far as regulations. 

"Each state certainly has to look at their set of laws and determine from a government perspective whether there ought to be change or not, and certainly, the federal legislature in Washington ought to have those conversations on a regular basis," said Valesky.
