It is reported the dispute the shooter had with his mother that led to the police call was over a Vegan diet she was on!

Since New York and it's media are so liberal, most news reports focus on the guns instead of the shooters , who all had records.
There is also a new trend of subway assaults, a few involving pushing people into paths of oncoming trains.

I don't blame the shooters, but since the a new crackdown on guns seems to be coming, expect to see a lot of rings that bring guns into the city being rounded up.

If they had records, how are they getting guns, illegally of course. Not to mention that possession of a firearm in NYC is a violation of the Sullivan law with a minimum mandatory of two years in jail, ask Plaxico Burress.
It's still not half as bad as it was back in the day.

Let's keep things in their proper perspective, while no murder is acceptable, there were 399 homicides in NYC last year as compared to 2,200 in 1990. 399 in a city of 8 million is pretty good and NYC ranks as the the 11th safest city in the US.

My prayers go out to their families. As someone who has/had a lot of family members in the NYPD this hits close to home.

Amen to that.

I'm in Miami now and there are multiple shooting incidents on the highways every week now with only a 30% homicide solved rate, 7 out of 10 homicides go unsolved in Miami Dade county. You have a better chance of getting away with murder than getting caught, not an encouraging statistic to think about. Between those statistics and the pandemic, who wants to go out in public anymore.

Its a violent person problem and an “impulse control” problem, not a gun control problem. There is basically one group and one group only that is responsible for all the violence and its not white supremacy.

True, and while there are guns involved, the amount of street assaults on the elderly has risen the past few years, and the assaults on subways. People ware just getting shoved in for of oncoming trains for no reason,

Growing up in NYC I learned to never stand in the subway without a girder behind my back, never. During the Seventies there were no cops around due to the budget crisis of the Beame administration, I was there for the Summer of Sam and the Blackout of '77 and the Blackout of 2003 and the difference between the 2 in civil disobedience was striking and due primarily to the level of police presence.
Guns come up the Iron Pipeline from gun shows in PA., VA, NC, SC, Georgia and FL where you can buy guns at gun shows with no background checks so violent criminal felons can purchase as many guns as they want and bring them back to NYC to arm their gangs. Who mentioned anything about White Supremacy???

“ Who mentioned anything about White Supremacy???”

Eric Adams. He claims he needs security because of white supremacy. Its laughable.

What does that have to do with the Cops getting shot?

I hear the no background check thing where I live all the time but it's not true. I've been to gun shows. They have the background checks set up insde the shows. No sales allowed without going through.

I'm not saying things don't go on in the parking lot or whatever, but the serious sellers won't deal with that. Has to be inside and on the up and up.or no sale. If you're limited to parking lots, you're very limited in what you can buy. You have access to less than 1% of the guns there. All in all ots probably like 1/10th of 1% or maybe even less.

You don't blame the shooters?

Alot. If Eric “ the race hustler “ Adams would of focused on violent black males who are commiting the majority of violent crime in NYC rather than creating a laughable narrative about white supremacy, those 2 cops may still be alive. That scumbag never should of been on the street.

Tell me all about it, I'm down in FL. Gun show loophole, no background check necessary. Brrraaap

I thought appointing his brother was a big time nepotistic bullshit move but I think his statement is being taken out of context, he ran as a Republican for many year at the beginning of his political career, here is what his statement stated.

“Let me be clear on this: My brother is qualified for the position,” Adams said. “Number one, he will be in charge of my security, which is extremely important to me at a time when we see an increase in white supremacy and hate crimes.”

I noticed you tried to find a picture of a white guy with a gun implying they are the ones selling guns to blacks. We both know thats NOT true. The white guy in your picture is holding a gun at a gun show. That is a totally innocent picture. Why not keep it real and show the violent thugs in NYC who are basically all black males and the one’s commiting all the violent crime, not some innocent white kid at a gun show. Do you work for CNN?
Your post is fake news…

Is that you? I see Florida has the loophole...well not really a loophole.

Why did you write Brrraaap? That implies fully auto which is a whole nother world. There is no loophole of any kind on those, you either purchase and possess legally or completely illegally and are opening yourself up to a shitload of federal trouble and prison.

Yep, that's me 100% and Bump Stocks were all over the place before the shit in Vegas fucked everything up for everyone.

Those pics are of me, just like this one when I came up short on the Vig one week, see the marks the pipe threads left on my skull. The quote I cited is from NY1 which is somewhat liberal but it still rings true but of course your entitled to your opinion which I am not disputing, only his statement.

Only seven counties in Florida require background checks but they are often not enforced.

Every county in every state requires a background check. Its FEDERAL. States have no say and nothing to do with it.

In Florida, if you have a carry conceal permit and purchase a gun at a gun show, you don't have a three day waiting period and in many cases don't have to undergo a background check.
"UNDERSTANDING THE “GUN SHOW LOOPHOLE”
Even though the state places restrictions on retail locations or gun stores, it is still possible for private individuals to sell firearms to other private individuals. If you attend a gun show or purchase a firearm through a friend or acquaintance, you will not have to undergo a background check. (Seven local governments, like Miami-Dade County, do require background checks at gun shows and private gun purchases, but reports show that this is rarely enforced.)This can make things tricky if you are caught with a weapon and have a criminal history or situation that would not allow you to buy a gun in a licensed store."

"The Florida Constitution also imposes a mandatory three-day waiting period between the retail purchase and delivery of any handgun, with specified exceptions.3 In addition, the Florida Constitution authorizes counties to enact three to five-day waiting periods, excluding weekends and legal holidays, in connection with the sale of any firearm occurring in or on “property to which the public has the right of access” within the county.4 This provision is directed at gun shows and other events open to the public outside of retail firearms establishments. Concealed weapons permit holders are not subject to such waiting periods when purchasing a firearm."

Thank you Lenox. Every mayor has had security details, his claim of needing it for white supremacy should have made him a target of ridicule. He has democratic immunity from the media.

It's not guns, as I said people are getting thrown in front of oncoming trains, and stabbed on subways. Do we ban trains and knives to solve things?

Cnote, if you don't mind me asking, how much short were you that got that?

Two inches shorter than I was before the beat down
Seriously, that wasn't from a shylock payment but needless to say I know my way around the streets of NYC from The Projects to The Rainbow Room and everything in between.

Major urban area’s in America have a violent criminal thug with no Impulse Control problem. Not a gun problem.
Why? Because certain groups think its ok to have babies at 17,18,19,20 years old without being married and their out of wedlock babies are not raised in a structured and disciplined environment.

It's 2022, if you can't feed em don't breed em. Too many kids being born to parents who don't have the resources to raise them correctly. It ends up straining the whole system. It's sad. The kids suffer. For something as precious as life, there's no process to make sure that you're suitable to bring it into this world.
These Fucking animals should be treated like animals. You don't put a dog in puppy prison, you put it down. Why take chances.

They have 5 or more kids, in some cases with different last names due to different fathers. The other problem is people with cell phones doing that fake "Oh my God!! What are you doing?" that they do when they see cops struggling with a person revisiting arrest.

Streets are being named after people who fought cops. Sean Bell tried to run a cop over, the cop shot him dead, and got in trouble, Sean Bell had a street named after him, Eric Garner, 40 arrests on his record, resisted police on cell phone video, a street is named after him. Lots of other examples. So the message they send is commit crimes, fight cops, and if hurt or killed you get to be a hero.
