Gillibrand (D-NY) said it takes "regular people coming to Washington" to speak to lawmakers and change their point of view on issues.
The senator noted that the majority of Americans "support common sense gun reform" and want "good, honest Americans to be able to go hunting and have their Second Amendment rights."
But laws should be harsher on criminals, she argued.
As for Congress, "They're in their bubble, they're out of touch, they don't realize there are very significant gun reforms that you can put in place that actually keep guns out of the hands of criminals. It's not a Second Amendment issue."
She is sponsoring a bill that prevents gun trafficking from states with weaker laws to states with more stringent laws. |

| She said criminals buy guns in Georgia and bring them to NY. This ignorant wench said they are already CRIMINALS so a new law will stop them how? They are criminals. Maybe she should make a law against stealing guns. Oh wait, there are already laws against that also. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
