And, just how can this be "abused"?
"Nice" that Time draws an association between the shooter in Texas, and legal concealed carry!
New York State Wants to Take Guns Away From All Domestic Abusers

The governor said he would push to expand the type of firearms that those convicted of domestic violence must surrender. Existing law covers handguns, but Cuomo wants it to include rifles and shotguns as well. His proposal would also require judges to mandate the surrender of all firearms, including rifles and shotguns, when they issue an order of protection in domestic violence cases.
Cuomo’s announcement comes barely a month after a shooter opened fire on his mother-in-law’s Texas church, killing 26 people and injuring others, after a long history of domestic violence. It’s become a disturbing pattern of mass shootings. As Cuomo noted in his announcement, most of the deadliest mass shootings in United States history have been perpetrated by individuals with a history of violence against women or a record of harassment against them.
As New York considers tightening access to guns, lawmakers at the federal level appear to be moving in the opposite direction. Cuomo’s proposal comes just a week after the U.S. House of Representatives voted to expand gun rights by passing a measure that would allow owners with concealed-carry permits to bring their firearm almost anywhere in the country—including states with more restrictive laws.
