How we know this is a true news story:
1) “Police have not released the victim’s identities.” USA Today.
2) “Gun violence of this magnitude, it really scars a community and a city,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams said during a press briefing... USA Today.
So let’s not bother about responsibility for the shootings——the gun availability was the culprit. /SARC
This is the second time Eric Adams has mentioned how guns are the cause of trouble in New York.
More loss of votes for him.
The hoops they made me jump through to own a gun in NYC were expensive, slow-moving, and ridiculous.
But my little .25 caliber insurance policy just cost me a few hundred dollars and was totally unregistered. Bought a few for myself, friends and family, thanks to my now-deceased sensei and brother-in-law. Never misused it. Never even had to whip it out, though sometimes it was a near thing. It was good to have on me late at night walking home in Koch and Dinkins’ New York. Giuliani was awesome, but I still kept the insurance policy just in case.
