Hundreds of alleged gun traffickers have been arrested and thousands of illegal firearms have been seized - including nearly 200 AR-15-style rifles - since a new round of federal gun control measures were passed last summer, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand said Monday.
The Democrat - who first introduced the legislation 14 years ago after Brooklyn high school student Nyasia Pryear-Yard was killed by a stray bullet from an illegal firearm - said the bill gave law enforcement the tools it needed to put gun runners behind bars.
