Creates a new class B violent felony for firing a firearm into a crowded space (defined as 3+ people) with intent to harm or when it creates great risk of death, with a mandatory minimum 20-year sentence, so more restrictions on firearm use.
A person is guilty of criminal use of weapons; firing into a crowded space when, being eighteen years old or older, with intent to cause physical injury to another person, such person fires a firearm into a crowded space with the intent to harm or absent the intent to harm when such an act creates a great risk of death to one or more people within the crowded space.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a new specific felony offense under the penal law for firing a firearm into a crowded space (with definitions of 'crowded space' and 'great risk'), classifies it as a class B violent felony, and sets a 20-year mandatory minimum sentence. This adds new restrictions and penalties on the use of firearms in certain circumstances. No provisions address transgender issues, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
