New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) called on lawmakers in Washington, D.C., to pass gun reform after the city announced that one officer had been fatally shot and another remained in critical condition during a shooting in Harlem on Friday evening.

“We don't make guns here. How are we removing thousands of guns off the street, and they still find their way into New York City? In the hands of people who are killers, constantly carbon highways of death, destroying our communities,” Adams said on Friday night. “We need Washington to join us and act now to stop the flow of guns in New York City and cities like New York.”

I’m thinking uniform crime reports. That ought to give a clue.

One definition of both insanity & tyranny: Never letting a crisis or disaster go unexploited for gaining power over the serfs...

Historically, marxism and its child, communism, have mastered this aspect of exploitation...

Get the criminals off the streets and keep them locked up for their full sentences. “Gun violence” will decrease as if by magic!

Pass laws to fund and build more prisons and jails instead.

He appears to want to violate Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution

“No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another: nor shall Vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay Duties in another.”

All the laws we have, only the good guys pay attention to
them. All the gun laws, only the good guys pay attention
to them. What’s the point. The people who would cause
society trouble, won’t pay attention to any gun laws.

Do these people ever stop to think?

It’s against the law to riot. It’s against the law to murder.

It’s against the law to own guns in Chicago. Has that stopped
drive by shootings?

Judges should scoff at new gun proposals, and toss out
any case involving them.

After 1845 when the NYC police dept. was established, the murder rate jumped from 5 per 100k to 17 per 100k per year.

After the Sullivan Law was passed in 1911, the murder rate jumped to 8 per 100k.

After the Gun Control Act of 1968, the murder rate in NY City jumped to 23-25 murders per 100k.

Gun Control laws really do work duuuhhhhhh...

After the no-machine guns allowed in 1920`s in NY and the 1934 FED. gun laws, the murder rate in NYC jumped to 8 per 100k. The 1968 Law banned machine guns but by that time thousands of GI`s from `Nam had already brought back thousands, on commercial flights to the USA, of AK 47`s unregistered as we speak...right thru San Francisco Airport- openly- nobody cared because it was a Normal Decades-old practice of bringin home WAR SOUVENIRS. I saw them a`comin out and took them by Taxi to Travis AFB ..They had about 6 AK47`s, some grenades, not including the 3 Army Nurses sitting on their laps in the back seat drinkin n celebratin` just happy to be HOME~.. Their fare was 10 buck plus all the liquor I could imbibe......

This was probably an FBI or CIA operation.

“Why not just pass a law to prevent people from dying if they do get shot?”

I’ll bet that Alec Baldwin would agree with you.

You don’t make drugs in NYC either yet you have plenty of them. If people want something they are going to find a way to get it. Criminals want guns. They don’t care about your laws. That’s why law abiding people need guns. Then there are the criminals in government who have a lot of guns. Patriotic Americans need to be armed against them as well.

Hey Mayor Adams, They don’t make cocaine or fentanyl n NY City either but there is plenty of both floating around the streets. Lawbreakers don’t give a rat’s behind what silly legislation you pass, they are just going to continue doing what they do.

More bull shit from corrupt politicians. NY has the most gun laws in the country. Put the bad guys in jail, bring back two strikes (felony convictions) and you’re out, bring back stop and frisk, allow law abiding citizens to carry in public. Enforce the laws from your stile jumping to graffiti. The new asshole DA won’t prosecute many laws including resisting arrest. They don’t need gun control they need law’s enforced.

Eric Adams should be blasting Jumaane Williams and former US District Court Judge Shira Scheindlin. They are responsible for ending stop a frisk which was effective in getting illegal weapons off the street.
