WomensLaw serves and supports all survivors.
Based on a new law that took effect in 2018, we added information to Will the abuser go to jail for having a gun when s/he isn’t supposed to? in our New York State Gun Laws section about judges being required to order the surrender of firearms after a defendant is convicted of a felony or serious offense. Changes made in English; Spanish soon to come. We also added the related statute to our Selected New York Statutes page in English.
