U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand today introduced three amendments to the Fiscal Year 2017 Criminal Justice Science Appropriations Bill that would strengthen existing gun safety regulations, crack down on illegal gun trafficking, and give federal law enforcement the tools necessary to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals.
“Every time a mass shooting happens somewhere in America, we hear the same calls for better, stronger gun laws, and nearly every time, the gun industry and its powerful lobby do whatever they can to block these bills,” said Gillibrand. “The only way we can change this is if Congress fulfills its responsibility to protect the American people and passes new laws to close loopholes that allow traffickers and terrorists to buy guns.
