NEW YORK -- New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy are introducing a bill to crack down on illegal gun trafficking.
They said Tuesday the bill would make it a crime to traffic in firearms and would also go after middlemen who buy a gun for someone else so that person can evade background checks.
The bill would provide funding for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to hire 1,500 agents and investigators.

Gee, I am surprised.
would also go after middlemen who buy a gun for someone else so that person can evade background checks.
Sorry gals, that’s already against the law but heck
why let that stop you, making redundant laws is a
democrat speciality.
Where o where are these libtard IDIOTS getting the money from to fund this?
I am almost wishing this country would just go bankrupt NOW because I am seriously, seriously tired of watching these goshdamn idiots disregard our national debt in their continued haste to spend us into bankruptcy.
It's all about showing the illiterate electorate that, by golly, they're DOING something about it.
Not that results matter to the illiterates. As long as intentions & feewings matter.
The voting public has been played again!!!
Wasn’t this Gillibrand lady supposed to be a big pro-gun rights kinda lady???
Now she’s sponsoring an anti-gun bill!
Will we never learn?
Already illegal, just another back door attempt at taking away constitutional freedom...What do you expect from Liberals/Progressives
You know, out of work and living off savings as I am, buying another case of ammo (we’ve plenty of weapons to use them in) every time these idiots do something stupid is going to break me!
Still, what else, beyond practice, can you do?
Yup, the Gun Control Act of 1968 (Title 18) already covers all that and more.
I believe this is already illegal everywhere
I didn’t think her NRA talking points would LAST, either... she was a 12% Liberal when she took the post, now she’s a ZERO!
We`ve been Scozzafava`d agin -
what part of ‘NO MORE SPENDING’ dont these people understand? we can’t afford 1500 new government employees (with the requisite 3500 supportstaff) at the moment
Exactly.
Hmmm... Bearing in mind that the devil is in the details, one has to wonder what the harm is in letting these two dim broads push a bill to outlaw what’s already illegal.
There’s no story at the link.
Now -15bama can say that 1500 new jobs were created in NYS. The stimulouse is working!
