New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) on Sunday said he is planning to reinstitute a modified plainclothes anti-gun unit after a police officer was fatally shot while responding to a 911 call in Harlem.
Asked by co-anchor Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union” about steps Adams is taking to make the city “more safe immediately,” the mayor said the Big Apple is going to restore a “newer version” of a modified plainclothes anti-tun unit.

Criminals are running rampant.
Best strategy: Dis-arm more citizens.
Will he go after gangs? Or law abiding citizens?
Maybe it goes around releasing violent felons, so as to increase the number of firearms homicides each week, thereby increasing the public’s support for new anti-gun measures.
I know of three anti gun units: the WH, Pelosi’s House of Rep. and the US Senate.
Too late, besides cops would have to be insane to put themselves between armed felons and this current Soros DA. Enjoy the suck, NYC!
What were the Yawkers thinking when they elected this clown?
Anything to avoid saying that the problem is the thugs who shoot the guns. Nothing is being done to them.
And, btw, if somehow guns disappear, the thugs will use other means. The UK has virtually no guns in private hands, so the killers have simply gone to knives, explosives, good old clubs, etc.
The problem is the people, not the implement they use to kill. Granted, they can kill more in one swoop with guns, but they’re still going to be killers no matter what. Heck, they can shove people down on the streets, push them under trains...whatever. They can kill and nobody is stopping them.
That’s what’s got to end - now.
Modified? Plain clothes upper body; uniform lower body? Uniform upper body; plain clothes lower?
Probably a unit that responds to gunshot location devices.
Neither. This is nothing more than smoke and mirrors, to give some appearance that something is being done. Even if arrested by the police, gangsters are unlikely to be prosecuted by the DA. (Very few law-abiding citizens of New York City own firearms. Many if not most of the law abiding NYC citizens who see the need to own firearms have already moved to free states.)
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg doubles down on soft-on-crime staff memo
The city is (IMO) doomed. Like Rome in the year AD 190, things may look bad now, but the "interesting times" are just beginning.
“What the hell is a anti gun unit”
Fakery while criminals run rampant.
Anti crime unit I believe it was called. They go out and actively look for people who profile out as likely gun toters.
Pre dissolution of the unit it worked very well. It in a over experienced cops who knew what to look for. Good luck getting them out there now though…
So now it's being repackaged (again) as the Neighborhood Safety Team (I kid you not).
They will drive around in unmarked cars and wear plainclothes. They will look for indications of gun-carrying and make arrests for violent felonies.
Leftists=create a crisis then blame it on gun owners, unvaxxed and hard working individuals. Gee, where have I heard this before?
"Yo, Tom Brady over there is a cop."
“The UK has virtually no guns in private hands, so the killers have simply gone to knives, explosives, good old clubs, etc.”
I like to point out the almost-forgotten historical fact that murder predates the invention of gunpowder, even the invention of knives.
eric,how about an anti-gang unit? ... Denver did that decades ago, and caught and convicted the top gang leaders (all recently arrived after being kicked out of California) for murder and incarcerated the lot with life sentences ... the rest of the lot learnt their lesson, and there’s been no wanton gang warfare since ...
