Mayor Eric Adams led New York’s top elected officials in excoriating the US Supreme Court for overturning a century-old state gun law — warning at a Thursday press conference that “this decision has made every single one of us less safe from gun violence.”
“There is no place in the nation this decision affects as much as New York City,” Adams said in response to the 6-3 ruling, which he added was “just not rooted in reality.”
“The opinion claims to be based on the nation’s historical past, but does not account for the reality of today. It ignores the present and it endangers our future,” he continued.

New Yorkers have not been safe for quite a while, Adamsidiot so knock off the ‘less safe’ BS. kkthx!?
These NYer’s talking like this....do they ever travel via the subway system (in the past three months)? Maybe old NY (1990s) was safe. But I would not suggest that for today.
New Yawkers:
You voted for him.
Gunplay in NYC is now Adams fault.
Just what is he doing to STOP IT! ?
Less safe for criminals who want to prey on law abiding citizens.
Does he mean that NYC is “less safe” because people can now defend themselves.
I didn’t think ANYONE EXISTED WHO WAS DUMBER THAN DE BLASIO.
Well, Eric Adams showed Me, didn’t he??????
Eric is Black and fears his Blackness disapation
Gee, I wonder then what the point of the movie Death Wish was if New Yorkers were so safe with their gun control laws?
nyers now less safe w eric adams as mayor
wholly agree!
And this clown was a celebrated cop in the city? My dad is probably rolling in his grave.
This man is an idiot.
The dimocrats will now start a serious effort to pack the court. Perhaps with as many as 15 Judges... :(
Yes, because this ruling will prompt all criminals to seek guns under ‘shall issue’ and all the lawful citizens seeking them will go out and commit crimes.
/s
Liberal logic: Without it we’d have to look to other countries for people to mock.
There will probably be a decrease in crime, as the criminals won’t know now if their victim is carrying. Previously, they were confident they were not.
Less safe because of this Beetlejuice looking idiot. SC is the new Putin for these retards.
Shall issue, dipshit. Let that sink in to your tiny mind.
Your peeps might get shot on the subway.
You read my mind. There is going to be an uptick on dead criminals soon.
Maybe Adams needs to watch Death Wish again. Arming citizens will make it safer, though their may be a violent transition period, when bad guys learn the hard way that potential victims may be armed.
Given the current state of crime in the city, how can New Yorkers possibly be less safe?
He wants rules for you but not for him.
