“A glaring weakness in our effort to combat gun violence is the fact that you have Raise the Age that still permits 16 and 17 year-olds to possess loaded firearms,” Soares said in an exclusive interview.
Soares said that there has been a seemingly unending onslaught of cases involving teens under 18 years old who get caught, one way or another, with firearms only to get sent to family court and sent back home. Albany County District Attorney David Soares says Gov. Kathy Hochul ought to support changes to the 2018 Raise the Age law.Hochul’s silence on the issue suggests she has no plans to change the 2018 law.“If they simply change the language from ‘display’ to ‘possession,’ then we would be allowed to hold those individuals accountable,” said Soares, who added that he saw a lot to otherwise like in the speech Hochul gave Tuesday.
