Senator Gillibrand cracks down on guns

ALBANY, N.Y. (WIVB) — U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand says she's backing a bill to crack down on corrupt gun dealers.

The Democrat says about 90% of firearms used in crimes in New York City come from other states and most of those guns are illegal.

Recently State Attorney General Eric Schneidermann announced his office had cracked down on gun shows with many illegal weapons found and some sellers accused of not making mandatory background checks.

Again this ditzy dumb wasteproduct Democrat like the majority of them are wasting their time on anything but what they should be focusing on,the economy,jobs,and illegal immigration. Instead they're all wraped up in what's important to THEM, forget about what design should be on license plates or should we snub the 90% to appease our atheist friends and call a Christmas tree a holiday tree? Gillibrand is a total ditz and her cracking down on guns is a joke,mabey it should be the other way around,just kidding,but these crazed Lberals are really in the way of anything positive or productive happing in America.
