Gun-law reform activist David Hogg is praising new legislation signed by Pennsylvania's governor that would require people convicted of domestic violence to hand over their firearms within 24 hours of being charged.

"The young people will win," Hogg wrote on Twitter, quoting a separate tweet from Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf (D) that showed him signing into law what Wolf described as "long-overdue reforms to keep guns away from domestic abusers."

"I want to personally thank the hundreds of advocates and citizens that made their voices heard and got this bill to my desk," Wolf said. "This important piece of legislation will make Pennsylvania a safer place."

The legislation is set to take effect in six months, according to CBS Pittsburgh.

“I’ve learned over the course of traveling the country how to directly address the issues with the dissenting opinions on our policy and I would welcome the opportunity to tell the president to his face how he could save lives,” Hogg said.
