It's for the children, don't ya know:

The law toughened restrictions on military-style rifles and high-capacity semiautomatic handguns, but those restrictions will be changed so those types of weapons can be used on the sets of television shows and movies being shot in New York.

“We spend a lot of money in the state bringing movie production here, post production here. So obviously we would want to facilitate that,” Cuomo said.

Cuomo said the prop firearms used in films would probably not be classified as an assault weapon.

“But people want certainty and there’s no reason not to make a change like that,” the governor added. “Apparently, they have blanks or they have phony magazines or something.”

Nothing is better for the children than watching some douche bag Hollywood hypocrite shooting up downtown NY. You defending your family? No concern of King Cuomo's.
 
He also wants to add back the LEO exemption.

Not sure why. If assault weapons and high capacity weapons are illegal, what do the NYPD have to worry about? No one will have any dangerous guns right?
