The Police Commissioner now holds the power to block any firearm permit if terrorism suspicions arise—even if no formal charges exist. Applicants can’t live with or associate with anyone investigated for terrorism-related offenses. With over a million registered guns and 260,000 licenses, the state is tightening oversight dramatically. Renewals are slashed from five to two years, and safe storage proof is now mandatory. A $42 million investment over ten years will upgrade the Gun Registry with more staff and tech. The reforms follow a glaring oversight: a vacant intelligence analyst role that contributed to the shooter’s access to weapons. Three new full-time analysts are now being hired. Meanwhile, a national gun buyback and ownership limits face resistance from states unwilling to join.
