NYC mayor unveils ad against law
ARLINGTON — Until Congress closes a loophole that makes it easy for criminals to buy firearms at gun shows, Virginia and other states must work to tighten their own laws, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday.
Bloomberg joined family members of Virginia Tech massacre victims in Northern Virginia to unveil a new television ad that will begin airing Tuesday, which calls on the state to end a practice allowing what are called “occasional sellers” at gun shows to sell weapons without conducting background checks.
