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.”

Maybe if they would make murder illegal, then... Oh, wait...

I want to know if the shooter was out on probation or just free-release?

But, if we pass laws to outlaw guns, criminals will obey those laws, right?

I'm just waiting to see when the M4s that Biden surrendered, along with $81 BILLION in arms to a terrorist group, begin showing up in the US in criminal hands...

No words on a piece of paper has stopped anyone. These politicians create some law then pose around feeling good and that’s that.

Why don’t they just round up the gang bangers and thugs, lock them up and take away their illegal guns. Problem solved.

No. What I’m saying is: how can any words on a piece of paper stop anyone from doing a crime?

What a joke. Adams is just proving his moron liberal bona fides. Was the gunman in this case a legal gun owner? No, he was not. He is a convicted felon. More gun laws would not have stopped him from getting a gun. All such laws do is create more unarmed innocent victims.

So much for the hopes that this guy will be better than Mayor Wilhelm.

Yep. He didn’t repeal the Big Bloviators NYC vaccine mandates and now whining to Wash DC to fix the ‘gun problem’. He’s all talk and no action. Curtis Sliwa would have been a better choice but NYC deserves their incompetent DemoRats they vote for.

What is “gun reform”? Guns don’t need reform. It’s criminals who use guns that are the problem. I don’t see politicians rushing to seize guns from violent criminals. Instead, they talk about taking guns from non-violent citizens.

Felon control works much better than gun control.

Probably a lot cheaper, too.

So the guys who murdered the cops are going to follow the law regarding owning a firearm?

What planet do these people live on?
