From MidHudsonNews.com:
“Following a spate of murders centered on domestic violence incidents, State Senator Peter Harckham announced Wednesday his intention to reintroduce legislation requiring police officers to take temporary custody of firearms when responding to reports of family or domestic violence …”
This isn’t news. Legislators almost automatically reintroduce the same bills year after year after year. My guess is either Harckham is looking for some positive press and/or some interest group is looking to push their pet issue.
