On Tuesday, October 25th, Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman announced a first-of-its-kind comprehensive analysis on gun trafficking into New York State. The new report, “Target on Trafficking: Analysis of New York Crime Guns,” examines the purchase history of nearly 53,000 “crime guns” recovered by New York law enforcement between 2010 and 2015. A crime gun is any gun connected to a crime that is recovered by law enforcement.
