Democratic NYC Mayoral Primary Winner Eric Adams: "Our crisis in America is not an assault weapons crisis. Our crisis is a handgun crisis."

Aside from from the 2nd Amendment saying, "shall not be infringed" many seem to think criminals obey laws. No ... That's why they are criminals.
Notice it is always a crisis according to our politicians. They push from one crisis to the next in order to get emergency powers.

The crisis in this country is that the Dem party favors CRIME..as long as its the blacks and Mexicans doing it, they can go into Neiman Marcus and loot the heck out of everything and NO ONE will be prosecuted..but dont you dare wear a fur coat at the capital, they will put you in solitary for 6+ months
Here we go. As a former cop, he should know better.
Notice how he says that the handgun “crisis” is ignored because victims are primarily minorities. Perhaps the solution is not to go after the handguns, but the people who pull the trigger on those handguns.
"Crisis, crisis, crisis.'
Eric Adams does know better. He knows in NYC, it isn’t AR-15s doing the damage.
As to his solution(s), I don’t know if I hear one other than the implicit one for confiscation.
That won’t stop the NYC shoot ups.
And there you go. Just when some thought a guy with some common sense might get there, he lets you know what it’s all about.
My brother was NYPD. Met the guy. Said he was pretty straight forward and honest, but racist to the core.
Good luck with that NYC.
I do know Dems would never support an action that disarmed criminals without it also disarming law-abiding citizens. Thus blame all crimes on guns, not people.
I noticed this years ago.
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.
1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).
1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!
1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America screams...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
1986, They came for the rifles.
If they can get any sort of ban on a rifle, rest assured they will be back for the handguns.
Enforce the gun laws already on the books as well as the other laws. That means put the perps in jail and keep them there.
I’d say it’s an education crisis combined with a lack of law enforcement crisis. Oh, and a Leftist elected official crisis.
Wrong.
It is a crisis of Lawlessness created and promoted by the Commies/Soros/DemocRATs.
Lawful gun owners are NOT at all part of this manufactured “problem”.
The NYPD issues several different types of handgun licenses, with varying restrictions. The information below will help you determine which type of handgun license is appropriate for you.
PREMISES LICENSE: This is a restricted type of license. It is issued for your residence or business. The Licensee may possess a handgun ONLY on the premises of the address indicated on the front of the license. Licensees may also transport their handguns and ammunition in separate locked containers, directly to and from an authorized range or hunting location. (For hunting, an endorsement from NYPD License Division is required, in addition to a New York State hunting license). Handguns must be unloaded while being transported.
CARRY BUSINESS LICENSE: This license permits the carrying of a handgun concealed on the person. It is valid for the business name, address, and handguns listed on the license. It is not transferable to any other person, business, occupation, or address, without the written approval of the License Division's Commanding Officer. This license may also be issued for safety reasons unrelated to business.
LIMITED CARRY BUSINESS LICENSE: This is a restricted type of license. The licensee may only carry handguns indicated on the license in accordance with the specific limitations listed thereon. At all other times, the handgun must be safeguarded within the confines of the address listed on the front of the license, either concealed on the licensee's person in a proper holster or stored unloaded in a locked safe.
SPECIAL CARRY LICENSE: The Special Carry License is valid for the business name, address and handguns listed on the license, only while the licensee has in his possession a valid carry county license issued according to the provisions of article 400 of the N.Y.S. Penal law. Upon the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of the basic county license, the Special Carry License is rendered void and must be immediately returned to the License Division. (For Retired Law Enforcement officers who wish to apply for a Special Carry handgun license, follow the instructions listed below-“INSTRUCTIONS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT (NON-NYPD) RETIREES WHO RESIDE OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK CITY”).
CARRY GUARD LICENSE: (security guards, etc.) This is a restricted type of license. Applications for this type of license must be made with the documentation provided by a company's gun custodian. It is issued only for the handgun listed on the license. The handgun may be carried only while the licensee is actively engaged in employment for the company whose name appears on the license and/or while licensee is in transit directly to or from residence and place of employment. At all other times, the handgun must be stored unloaded in a locked container, at either the address on the license or at the employee's legal residence (within the State of New York).
It’s a gang crisis. More specifically it’s a black gang crisis. If they didn’t have guns they’d be using clubs or spears.

“Our crisis is a handgun crisis.”
Our crisis is the negro male under 40
Around 2% of the population and over half of violent crime
1. The good news is that it works.
2. The bad news is that it doesn't stand up to any constitutional scrutiny as a legitimate form of police activity.
3. The worse news is that the policy works best when certain "people of color" are targeted, which makes the constitutional problem in Item #2 orders of magnitudes worse. You could search 100,000 random Asians on the streets and subways of NYC, for example, and you wouldn't find a single firearm on any of them.
4. For NYC residents, the best news is that with a black mayor, the New York City police will be able to get away with just about anything he wants to implement as a crime-prevention policy.
It is a "No Consequences Cultural Crisis!".
