Lowey Statement on the Return of a Gun Show to Westchester

White Plains, NY – Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-Westchester/Rockland), the Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee, released the following statement today on the return of a gun show to the Westchester County Center:

“I am outraged to learn that a gun show will return to the Westchester County Center after a welcome four-year reprieve. Gun shows should not be held in government buildings.

“I am a strong supporter of universal background checks, closing the gun show loophole, and closing the terror gap. As I have been throughout my career, I remain committed to passing commonsense gun safety legislation that will keep our communities safe and protect American lives.”
