New York Attorney General Letitia James
New York Attorney General Letitia James is leading a coalition of 12 attorneys general as they call for the United States Congress to take action to stop gun trafficking from the US to Caribbean countries.
In a letter, the attorneys general say gun trafficking from the United States has contributed to gun violence in Caribbean countries where many New Yorkers and Americans have families.
The coalition outlines a number of measures the US Congress can take to help reduce gun trafficking into the Caribbean, including ensuring inspectors at ports have enough resources to make inspections and passing the Caribbean Arms Trafficking Causes Harm Act.
Miss James said it would provide state and federal governments with more information about gun trafficking into the Caribbean and determine which anti-gun trafficking methods are working to reduce gun violence.
