Governor Andrew Cuomo today called on the Democratic presidential candidates to endorse the "Make America Safer Pledge," a 4-point plan to keep Americans safe from gun violence. Immediately following the horrific mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio earlier this week, Governor Cuomo condemned President Trump and urged the U.S. Congress to follow New York's lead and pass significant gun safety measures. Under Governor Cuomo's leadership, New York has passed the strongest gun safety laws in the nation, including the SAFE Act in 2013 which keeps guns out of the hands of convicted felons and individuals with a mental illness, ensures private gun sales are subject to a background check, bans high-capacity magazines and assault weapons, and toughens criminal penalties for illegal gun use.
