State leaders from opposite sides of the aisle came out in opposition to the state's new gun control law.

Gov. Kathy Hochul signed the legislation last month after the Supreme Court overturned the state’s century-old concealed carry law.

But some elected officials from Central New York are speaking out against it.

"New York is not going to be any safer, in my opinion, because of this legislation," Republican State Senator Joseph Griffo said.

He said there should have been input from government officials and law enforcement before Hochul signed the new gun restrictions into law.

"What this bill and legislation potentially does is turn law-abiding citizens into criminals," Griffo said.

The legislative package created new requirements on gun training, firearms in the home and so-called sensitive places, areas like hospitals and schools where guns wouldn't be allowed, even if you have a concealed carry permit.

Griffo said this was political posturing by the governor.

"Look, right now you don’t have to worry about bail or going to jail in most cases," Griffo said. "You can see the frustration and the problems that our law enforcement agencies are facing with criminals right now. On the other hand, as a result of this bill, law-abiding citizens who have gotten a license legally now potentially face, if they do something without knowledge, they could be in violation and potentially face a class C felony that’s unbailable."

Democratic Assembly Member Marianne Buttenschon said Hochul’s bill did not address the Supreme Court's ruling.

"The U.S. Supreme Court spoke and ruled that New York state needed to be objective in the process of providing individuals their right to carry a firearm," Buttenschon said.

She said the law does not ensure safety for law-abiding citizens.

"More importantly, I represent the people within the 119th Assembly District, and this is what they asked. They asked to have input and to have guidance. And clearly, if we are going to ensure that it’s objective, as we’re tasked to do, that’s what we should be doing, and this legislation did not do that," Buttenschon said.

The new law takes effect starting September 1, 2022.

"When we see laws that need to be strengthened, we strengthen them. If anyone tries to evade our laws, we stop them. Because this is a moment of reckoning for New Yorkers and as Americans," Hochul said.
