Senator Chuck Schumer wants the Department of Justice to target states with lax gun laws in order to better track firearms flowing illegally into New York City and Long Island as gun violence keeps plaguing the Big Apple. 

“The DOJ is to be commended for its good work and effort to address illegal guns here in New York and the other four cities. But the DOJ must also expand their footprint with this strike force plan to include states and regions that feed the gun problem in New York,” Schumer said in a statement Sunday, June 27. “Gun traffickers in Eastern seaboard states like Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia are exporting hundreds of illegal guns to New York every year, and it has to stop—because those out-of-state guns are used on our streets in violent crimes.”
