"Still reeling from the damage that the Supreme Court has done to New Yorkers’ safety this week, it is at once good to see this legislation which will help to save lives become law, and frustrating and infuriating that it has taken this many years, this much loss, to make even this small amount of progress in our federal gun laws.
"We have to be clear that this is a step, a symbol that we must push past inaction, not a substitute. Especially in the wake of these disastrous court decisions, it’s clear that we need to do much more on a city and state level to combat gun violence — both the supply and the demand. Each of these aspects must immediately be addressed in a special session of the state legislature, and we must continue to demand more from DC — real, sweeping, broadly popular reforms have been left on the Capitol floor, and must be taken up to truly meet this epidemic of gun violence."
