Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand introduced legislation this week that aims to make trafficking in illegal firearms a federal crime.
Her bill, the Hadiya Pendleton and Nyasia Pryear-Yard Gun Trafficking and Crime Prevention Act, would also support law enforcement as it works to remove these illegal weapons from the street, and help prosecute those who engage in firearm trafficking, according to a statement from Gillibrand's office.
SUBMITTER'S COMMENT: When Gillibrand first ran for senator, she reassured her rural constituency of her conservative bona fides by telling them that she and her husband kept rifles under their bed for home protection. When asked about this, Senator Schumer said that when she got to Washington, she'd come around. |

There are plenty of federal laws on the books to stop gun trafficking. Straw purchases, Sales to felons, felons in possession of firearms, etc.
Why doesn't she demand that the government enforce the laws they have instead of trying to criminalize half the population. |

TO REMEMBER |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
