NY1: Gillibrand Fighting to Stop Illegal Gun Trafficking

NY1 in New York City aired a piece on U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Representative Carolyn McCarthy announcing a new measure aimed at eliminating the steady flow of illegal guns into New York. Standing alongside Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, representatives from the Brady Campaign and New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, and the parents of victims who lost their lives from gun violence at The John Jay College of Criminal Justice, Senator Gillibrand and Representative McCarthy unveiled the Gun Trafficking Prevention Act of 2009, which will empower local, state, and federal law enforcement to investigate and prosecute gun traffickers and their entire criminal networks, while protecting responsible, law-abiding gun owners.
