New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) called for a “national response” to rising violence following a subway shooting that wounded over a dozen people on Tuesday.

Adams told CNN’s Dana Bash in an interview that increased violence is an issue affecting the entire country and said that while officials have recovered more than 1,800 guns in the last three and a half months, the city needed some assistance.

“We’re going to continue to do our job, but there is some assistance that’s going to be needed in our city, such as an empowering ATF,” the mayor said, referring to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.

Nothing you can do jack BEEP. The shooter was black so why would a progressive care?

And here we GO.

National response? The problem is dem violence against other dems in dem controlled urban centers.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Not to get ahead of ourselves, but what are the odds that when they catch the perpetrator, that he has a well established rap sheet?

They want it to reflect poorly on everybody, not just the Dem NY Gov. and Dem NYC Mayor.

[SAMWolf]

Biden s’ AFT will get right on it,

[silverleaf]

How about a NYC response?

[mrmeyer]

Read the uniform crime report. It’s not guns, it’s demographics and culture

[rigelkentaurus]

OK - here is the national response: You Broke It, You Fix It.

Sorry bro....the pool has closed and all the squares have been bought up on nunmber of felonies.

[EvilCapitalist]

You can’t have a national response to rising violence, that would be raciss.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

No, it is not an issue affecting the whole country.

It doesn't affect me.

“Show me the demographics, and I will show you the crime.”

[V_TWIN]

“the big push for more fed gun control”

The day after brandon vilified “ghost guns”... what a coincidence.

OK, how about we Decertify New York City as a City or part of a State, Declare it a Federal Penal Colony, Surround it with an impenetrable wall, and cut power and gas?

[Seruzawa]

Not affecting anyplace where the citizens are allowed to defend themselves. Stop trying to involve the entire country in the consequences of your own incompetence.

[PubliusMM]

Stay in your lane, Mr Mayor...

[catnipman]

helpless Dem mayor refuses to fix his own problems, begs “the nation” for “help” ... btw, Rudi knew what to do and didn’t need no stinkin “help” from the nation, either ...

[Rocky Mountain Wild Turkey]

The policing policies of that Rudy Giuliani guy cleaned up NYC. Since disarming, arresting, trying, and jailing criminals worked before, the problem seems to be lack of courage and will. Enforce the rule of law at the local level before asking for a “national response”. Why did this guy run for mayor if he’s unwilling to do the job?
