Mayor Eric Adams demanded assistance Sunday from Washington D.C. to block the “constant flow” of firearms into the Big Apple, days after an NYPD cop was killed and another officer was left fighting for his life after they were shot — declaring “the federal government must step in.”
“The police department is doing their job taking thousands of guns off the streets, yet each time you take a gun off, there’s a constant flow of new guns coming here,” he said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
“And if we don’t coordinate to go after those gun dealers that are supplying large cities in America such as New York, we are losing the battle, and the federal government must step in and play a role in doing so.”
During a subsequent TV appearance, Adams speculated that even though cops seize many firearms, they are quickly replenished by even more of them being transported to New York City.

Wonder what resources Merrick Garland will send?
That's your problem right their Mr. Mayor. NYPD's job should be to take criminals off the streets.
I’m sure those Social Workers are on their way.
Adams is a punk. Dude, it’s not the guns, it’s the criminals! They’re gonna get guns no matter what.
Defund and demoralize police.
Set them up for civil trials if not extremely polite to the vicious felons.
Allow no bail or low bail releases. Overcrowding, Covid and racial disparity causes letting criminals out of prison.
Crime out of control for “gun violence” problems. No remedy.
Vigilantes afraid of Leftist system of “justice.”
Only thing to do is a national police force run by the Federal Government with a subset of Gestapo officers who have free run of the country with secret data from the FBI on citizens (medical records, children’s traffic records, tax records, political leanings, emails, phone calls, texts and more).
At least 100 FBI Agents, I’m guessing.
BINGO!
Lock your criminals up, dumbass.
Despite having some of the strictest gun laws in the country...
LightfootIdiot called for Fed help.
Now AdamsIdiot calls for Fed help.
Which Leftist Commie Mayor will be next?
Lmao.
Losers!
How about your stinking policies don’t work other than successfully continuing the process of turning your city into a sh*thole maybe?!
Just heard the second officer passed away this morning..just horrible..meanwhile NOTHING is being done to stop the crime..NOTHING..because the left loves this
I don't think the FBI cares this point. Of course, they'll give lip service and pledge support. Otherwise, the FBI is focused on 1/6 protestors and "right wing" domestic terrorists.
You figured out the end to their means.
Gestapo — how progressive!
100%. Change the DA and get people who are tough on crime. Things were pretty good while Guiliani was in charge. Okay under Bloomberg but went south when Comrage DeBlowhard took over. Leftist policies bread crime like rabbits.
“At least 100 FBI Agents, I’m guessing.”
Coming to N City, DC, Chicago, Portland, Seattle, Baltimore, ST Louis, Houston, LA, Gay Frisco, San Jose and Sacramento?
When might be the real question?
Ya, ‘cause the feds were so successful with D.C.
/s
I read the first few sentences, that’s all it took. This guy is a loser and under him New York will continue to get worse.
Terrible. Welcome to the Big Horseapple.
Oh, COME ON. Sure, it’s the gun dealers’ fault…how about prosecuting criminals instead?
“The police department is doing their job taking thousands of guns off the streets, yet each time you take a gun off, there’s a constant flow of new guns coming here,”
Focus on criminals, not guns.
Hey Mayor, did you ever hear of the concept of ‘cause and effect’?
Who are the people pulling the trigger on these guns?
Maybe the Mayor should be more concerned about the trigger-pullers than on the triggers.
Mayor, you created this hell-hole called NYC. Enjoy it.
