    | 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 |

                      | By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy.  Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country.  For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |  |  |
