New York To Tighten Up Gun Laws

The Wall Street Journal reports
U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand announced Sunday that she's backing a bill that aims to crack down on corrupt gun dealers as well as eliminate the flow of illegal guns into New York.
Almost 90 percent of the firearms used in New York City gun crimes come from out of state, and most of those guns are illegal, according to the Democratic senator, who plans to introduce the Gun Trafficking Prevention Act this week.
The article describes the proposed changes, which sound like all good ideas to me. I find it strange that people allow such slipshod regulations in other states. New York has a right to complain.
