The sponsor's argument
Why Erik Bottcher says this is needed
Inspired by cigarette warning labels used in countries around the world, the bill is designed to make the risks of firearms, including accidental shootings, suicides, and domestic violence, clear and undeniable to consumers at the point of sale. New York City passed a similar law in 2025.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
