BUFFALO, N.Y. (WBEN) Attending the US Conference of Mayors winter meeting this week, Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown has been discussing gun violence with mayors from around the country.
The tide has turned in many cities from solely focusing on criminals to shining light on irresponsible gun makers.
"I was part of a panel discussion on reducing gun violence," said the mayor on WBEN Thursday. "I told them about the lawsuit the city has filed against ghost gun manufacturers as well as gun industry dealers and distributors."
