(CNN) Two weeks after a gunman walked into a Buffalo, New York, supermarket and killed 10 people -- and just days after 19 children and two teachers were killed in a Texas school -- New York leaders are demanding the federal government take action against gun violence. New York Mayor Eric Adams, who traveled to Buffalo, said while nearly 3,000 guns have been removed from New York City streets, he is calling on the federal government to create stronger laws to combat the proliferation of weapons. New York Mayor Eric Adams speaks outside the funeral of Buffalo shooting victim Ruth Whitfield in Buffalo Saturday. "It's not only what happened here in Buffalo New York, but it's what is happening on Buffalo Avenue in Brooklyn and the Buffalo Avenues all across our nation," Adams said. "That's why I'm here in solidarity with the mayor, who has been vociferous of dealing with this sickness of the over proliferation of gun violence, and we're going to continue to mobilize together."
