250 Hard Weapons: New York City’s Largest Ever Gun Running Bust

Aug. 20, 2013

New York City police have arrested 19 people in what authorities are calling the city’s largest-ever guns bust.

Police recovered 254 firearms, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.

The guns were brought to the city from the US states of North and South Carolina by traffickers travelling on buses, authorities said.

Mr Bloomberg is one of the most prominent proponents of strict gun control in the US, criticising the easy availability of firearms.
