Eric Schneiderman has released his manifesto outlining what his priorities as State Attorney General would be. On page 21 we have this:
“Form an I-95 Anti-Gun Smuggling Coalition: As Attorney General, Eric will employ high-tech, multi-state strategies to fight illegal guns and gangs to protect our schools, streets and communities from violence. Over 90 percent of illegal guns seized in New York City originated in states with lax gun control laws, particularly states along Interstate 95. New York cannot solve this problem alone. We must implement a new regional, interstate and multi-state approach to illegal gun trafficking. Using the Organized Crime Task Force, Eric will lead an “I-95″ coalition of state Attorneys General, and state and local law enforcement agencies, to share and track data on gun crimes and Schneiderman Attorney General Agenda | Criminal Justice gun sales between states. With the OCTF, sharing intelligence with other states and working jointly on trafficking cases, state and local agencies together will attack the flow of illegal guns at the source. In addition, Eric will deploy the sophisticated tools of OCTF within New York State to stop the movement of illegal guns across county lines. He will aggressively use wiretaps and physical surveillance to track the gangs that arm their members with illegal firearms, often in support of their narcotics trade.”
