Gun violence survivors, lawmakers stage ‘sit-in’ in Manhattan park to call on Congress to stand up to the NRA
A group of gun violence survivors joined lawmakers in Manhattan Wednesday to call out Congress for laying down to the NRA.
The “sit-in” at Carl Schurz Park on E. 86th St. was led by Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Manhattan) who demanded that House Speaker Paul Ryan hold a vote on legislation aimed at tightening background checks and preventing terror suspects from buying guns.
