Buffalo, NY (WBEN) Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown Tuesday announced a lawsuit the city is filing against members of the firearms industry, including local gun stores, gun manufacturers, and distributors, for contributing to the city’s gun violence crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mayor says gun violence is only getting worse in Buffalo. “Even with all the things my office and the Buffalo Police Department are doing to curb gun violence. Unfortunately, we are still seeing illegally possess guns to get into the wrong hands,” says Brown. He cites the 5\/14 Tops shooting massacre as only one example of gun violence the city has been dealing with this year. Brown says the community must do all it can to decrease gun violence. “Enabling gun use, destroys lives and deeply affects our neighborhoods, especially in black and brown communities,” says Brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
