ALBANY — Six weeks after approving an expanded ban on assault weapons, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and lawmakers are considering whether to amend the measure to add an exception — for Hollywood.

Mr. Cuomo said Wednesday that while he and lawmakers did not want assault weapons on New York’s streets, they did not intend to ban their use on film shoots, and that concerns had been raised that the new measure could put a damper on the state’s growing film and television industry.

“Should you be able to use these types of guns in movies? The answer is yes,” Mr. Cuomo said in a news conference at the Capitol. “We do spend a lot of money in this state bringing movie production here.”

Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, added that fake assault weapons might already be permitted under the new gun laws, but that the film industry wanted clarity. “People want certainty, and there’s no reason not to make a change like that to give an industry comfort, especially when it’s an industry that we want to be doing business in this state,” he said.
