I’m guessing the Soros backed DA would gleefully prosecute any citizens who run afoul of gun ownership laws. But that’s it, no one else.

***hole politicians are ignoring the criminals and going after law abiding Americans. The moron voters need to start paying attention to the idiots they elect. It might help to stop electing people who hate Caucasian Americans.

It’s to take guns from non-violent citizens while deliberately leaving them in the hands of violent criminals.

Adams is in over his head, he is not smart enough to run NYC - he is a complete dummy

Yes, and NYC will quickly become the “model” for other urban jungles.

My response is I don’t waste my time in Democrat operated crapholes.

That’s a feature, not a bug.

Democrats can always be counted on to revert to their typical tendencies.

The number of ridiculous “what ifs” and just plain falsehoods in this article is absolutely amazing. Just more fear porn articles for clicks and outrage.

When’s SCOTUS going to be taking up New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen? Been waiting a long time.

“Yet the newest push to disarm lawful gun owners is even more severe than previous crackdowns. Why do politicians like Mayor Adams continue to push for laws that do virtually nothing to prevent crime? Because gun control is not about public safety—it’s about public control.”

Not really. Actually, it’s nothing but virtue signaling to show that the politician is doing ‘something’ about crime. Besides, in the political realm, you don’t need a gun any way.

New York’s gun control laws have abjectly failed to prevent criminal abuse of firearms...Yet the newest push to disarm lawful gun owners is even more severe than previous crackdowns. Why do politicians like Mayor Adams continue to push for laws that do virtually nothing to prevent crime?

Extremes breed extremes: Failures in control laws breed push to disarm lawful gun owners. All while championing to defund/restrict/curtail law enforcement against criminals. No mental health issues there. /s

They need criminal control, not more gun control. Criminals are going to get guns no matter what, and the problem is that there’s no control at all on the criminals.

A police state where criminals run free, what a concept.

New York City is overdue to set up a firing range in Manhattan’s Central Park for the militia to practice their marksmanship.

Interestingly, NYC does not recognize a NY State permit. To be legal in the city you have to have a NYC permit.

I’ll give you some more:

Under HR218….only a retired officer from a New York police or Sheriffs department is exempt from the 7 rounds in a magazine standard and ONLY if they’re carrying their former duty weapon.

So, if your department issued Glock 17s. You retire. You want to carry a Glock 19. Only legal if you have 7rds in magazine.

Also, if you’re a retired Federal agent. Born and raised in NY. Whole career in NY. Only 7rds in your magazine.

I went up there for a class, while I was still in law enforcement, as I was from out of state. Had a Glock19, fully loaded w 15rds. I was good under HR218 to have the gun, but in violation of the SAFE Act because I wasn’t there in an official capacity and had more than 7rds in my magazine.

That entire state needs to be erased and given a do-over.

I can’t remember, whatever happened to Koch’s “Illegal gun - go to jail...1 year, mandatory”?
