Brooklyn lawyers weigh in on revolutionary NY gun legislation
While New York state’s lawmakers were working Tuesday afternoon to approve the toughest gun control law in the nation,
comments by members of the Brooklyn legal community revealed that even here, some were completely in favor of gun control, while others felt it had to be balanced with the protections inherent in the Second Amendment.
Jay Schwitzman, Esq., a Brooklyn Attorney who handles gun and weapon charges, said, “I am in support of the governor’s initiative to get guns off of the street and out of hands of those who should not have them.
“Of course, this must be weighed against the U.S. Constitutional Amendment granting persons the right to protect themselves and ultimately bear arms.”
