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.”

Since when has any law stopped anyone from disobeying it?

Well heck yeah. After all, as we know all too well, NYC is like the wild wild west with such lax gun laws and stuff. Can you say “Okee Dokee Corral?”. Meet the new ‘mare’! As dumbass as the old ‘mare’. My kin folk up in the Hudson River Valley are turned up to about 2,500 rpm about now.

The “Law” has made it nearly impossible to have a handgun in NYC since 1911.

Let’s try something different.
Let’s try killing the killers.
Put a bounty on em. ...Wanted Dead Or Alive.
Oh, wait...we’re just too civilized for that. /s

If they had tougher gun laws, the murderer would have been out on bail from 5 crimes instead of four. That would have slowed him down!

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

The Dem Plan for NYC

1. Restrict law abiding people’s ability to protect themselves.

2. Criminal go after a weakened people.

3. Restrict law abiding people’s ability to protect themselves even more.

4. Repeat until the city dies.

Hey I’ve got this great idea….if you get caught committing a crime with a gun you go to jail for longer than 20 minutes!

Let’s put the 2A aside for just a moment. Instead let history be our guide. Back in the 1920s the United States tried Prohibition. It was a complete failure. Honest folks had no alcohol. Dishonest folks had all the alcohol they wanted.

The exact same thing would occur should the United States enact draconian restrictions on guns.

We can’t eliminate criminals. How will lawyers, judges and their families survive without taxpayer’s paying for criminals to criminal ?

How about prosecuting criminals for having guns?

How about not pleading down a felony just to clear the docket?

How about pro-active policing. Cops have no problem “arresting” a 9 year old girl for not wearing a mask, perhaps if they went after real criminals some of this would stop.

“””New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) called on lawmakers in Washington, D.C., to pass gun reform”””


A couple of days ago NEW YORKERS were demanding the US CONGRESS pass a law to inspect high rise apartments after the disastrous fire that killed a bunch of folks in NEW YORK CITY.

Sorry, NEW YORKERS, but the rest of the USA cannot fix stupid.

NEW YORKERS get out your shovels and start cleaning house.
