ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Senate Republicans are trying
to scale back parts of the landmark gun control regulations rushed into
law after the Newtown school massacre.
Senate Republican leader Dean Skelos says his
conference is looking to change the law's limit of 7 bullets in
magazines that commonly hold 10. He says one change might be to lift the
limit inside a gun owner's home.
Skelos says Republicans are also looking at other
provisions sought by legal gun owners concerned about protecting their
homes and families.
Skelos' comments Monday come a week after some
Republicans told The Associated Press they want to change the law, which
drew two of the largest protest rallies Albany has seen in recent years.
The Senate has an opportunity to force some revisions because the bill requires several fixes.
