NY and NJ lawmakers debate new gun laws

The gun control debate is front and center in state capitols across the country in response to the high school massacre in Florida. But partisan politics have already put New York and New Jersey on separate paths. Two weeks after the Parkland shooting, New Jersey is now poised to become one of the first states to pass so-called red flag laws to allow a judge to temporarily take guns away from anyone who appears to pose a threat to society. Democrats in the New York Senate are also pushing to immediately adopt stricter gun control rules, including closing loopholes on bump stocks, which make high-powered rifles fire faster. But state Republicans blocked that push, for now, instead focusing on efforts to add more safety and armed personnel to potential targets, like schools.
