Gov. Andrew Cuomo is continuing to offer his views in the national debate about gun control. He's asking Democratic presidential candidates to endorse four gun control measures previously adopted in New York.
Cuomo made numerous appearances Wednesday on national and New York media, including WXXI News. He outlined four proposals that have been law in the state for six years, including an assault weapons ban, a mental health database that prevents some mentally ill people from owning guns, and background checks to close a loophole that excludes private gun sales from the checks.
The list also includes an extreme risk protection act, also known as a red flag law, adopted in New York earlier this year, which permits a judge to order the confiscation of a person's firearms if they are deemed a potential threat to themselves or others.
"Today I'm calling on all the Democratic presidential candidates to adopt our laws, in essence," said Cuomo.
He said he will ask the candidates, when they come to the state during the primaries, to back his plan.
"When they come to New York, I'm going to ask them straight out, 'Do you support our laws?' " Cuomo said.
