N.Y. Gun Control Advocates: State's Tough Gun Laws Can only Accomplish so Much

MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY, JUL 30 – The shooter legally obtained the assault rifle in Nevada despite mental health holds, highlighting gaps in state gun laws amid calls for a national assault weapons ban, Johns Hopkins data shows.

  • On July 28, 2025, Shane Devon Tamura drove from Las Vegas and killed four people, including an NYPD officer, at 345 Park Avenue before his suicide.
  • Following his revolver purchase, Tamura assembled the weapon using a lower receiver bought by an associate.
  • ABC News reported Tamura ‘had two mental health crisis holds’ in 2022 and 2024, despite his ‘documented mental health history,’ Tisch said.
  • During her Tuesday appearance, Hochul noted “New York has some of the strongest gun laws in the nation” and warned AR-15s can be obtained in states with weak laws like Nevada and brought into New York.
  • What this shooting highlights, Nick Suplina said, is that “we’re only as safe as the laws of the weakest state,” prompting calls for federal action.
