"NYPD Blames Increase On Availability Of Guns Out Of State"
The availability of guns has not increased. The supply of criminals has. Blame immigration. Blame the Courts. Blame the attorneys. Blame the legislators for not passing stronger laws.
I recall reading a few years ago that new york has ten's of thousands of outstanding warrants for people who have committed gun and gun related crimes. One TV show went to a local police station and ask why they were so many warrants outstanding. the police said they couldn't arrest someone they couldn't find. The reporter picked four warrants at random and found them all in one day. One lived within a block of the police station. So what do you do??
