GILLIBRAND HOLDS PRESS CONFERENCE ON GHOST GUN LEGISLATION AND TAKES WALKING TOUR OF CHINATOWN SMALL BUSINESSES WITH AWARD-WINNING COOKBOOK AUTHOR GRACE YOUNG

NEW YORK, NY – On Monday, July 17, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand hosted two public events in New York City:

2:00PM – Gillibrand held a press conference to announce new federal legislation to combat the rise of “ghost guns,” untraceable firearms assembled from components bought online or made by 3D printers that can enable unlicensed individuals—including violent felons, domestic abusers, and other dangerous individuals—to manufacture guns themselves.

Gillibrand was joined by Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal; NYPD Inspector Courtney Nilan; Sam Levy, Senior Counsel at Everytown for Gun Safety; Paul DiGiacomo, President of the Detectives’ Endowment Association; Mary Hernandez, CEO and Founder of Angellyh Yambo Foundation; the families of slain teenagers Angellyh Yambo and Julian Oliveros; and other gun safety advocates.

– Location of press conference: Detectives’ Endowment Association, 26 Thomas Street, New York, NY 10007

2:45PM – Gillibrand took a walking tour of Chinatown with award-winning cookbook author Grace Young, whose #SupportChinatowns social media campaign seeks to revitalize America’s Chinatowns and their businesses that are still struggling post-pandemic. The walking tour included visits to three iconic small businesses in NYC’s Chinatown.

– Start location of walking tour: Wing On Wo & Co., 26 Mott St, New York, NY 10013
