New York Attorney General Letitia James and New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced Wednesday that they’ve filed two separate lawsuits against ghost gun distributors whose tactics have resulted in illegal firearms landing in the hands of criminals.
James and Adams made the joint announcement beside a table covered with handguns — one of which was used in the shooting of Angellyh Yambo, a 16-year-old Bronx girl who died after being shot in April.
“Today, we are saying not in our state. We will lead the nation in fighting against these guns,” Adams said. “We are not going to let gun companies turn New York into a city of mail-ordered murder.”
