Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has urged the Department of Justice to expand its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/department-justice-announces-formation-firearms-trafficking-strike-forces-crack-down-sources\">new gun control task force<\/a>. On Sunday, the Democrat lawmaker first commended the DOJ for creating a team to address the surge in gun-related violence across the country, but went on to add it wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n<p>His remarks come as New York City suffers from a sharp uptick in gun-related crimes with April reporting a 166 percent increase over last year. Schumer, however, claimed the fault was not New York\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is good news that the DOJ has set up strike forces to come to New York and other cities to deal wit the epidemic scourge of gun violence,\u201d he stated. \u201cBut DOJ\u2019s plans are insufficient because so many of the guns used in crimes come from other states, so we\u2019re asking them to expand the domain of their task forces.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We\u2019re fighting back against gun violence in New York City.
