New York passes bill making it illegal for anyone under 21 to buy - or even HAVE - a semiautomatic rifle just weeks after 18-year-old with semi-automatics massacred ten in Buffalo as mass shootings soar across the US
The New York State legislature voted Thursday to ban anyone under the age of 21 from buying or even possessing a semi-automatic rifle
The bill would also require anyone buying a semi-automatic rifle to get a license - which is now only required in New York State for handguns
It is part of a larger package of gun control measures, which also includes restricting civilian purchases of bullet-resistant armor
Other bills would require new guns to be equipped with microstamping technology that can help law enforcement trace bullets
The move comes less than three weeks since an 18-year-old used two semi-automatic weapons to shoot up a supermarket in Buffalo
Ten people were killed as a result
