ALBANY, N.Y. — New York’s legislature is poised to ban people under age 21 from buying or possessing a semi-automatic rifle, a major change to state firearm laws pushed through less than three weeks after an 18-year-old used one of the guns to kill 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo.

Elsewhere in New York, people as young as 16 can possess long guns like rifles and shotguns without a license.
