NYC mayoral candidate Adams calls out DC Dems for 'misplaced' focus on assault weapons

Eric Adams said lawmakers must address the spread of illegal handguns

Democratic New York City mayoral candidate Eric Adams wants to decrease gun violence, but he believes Democrats are going about it the wrong way on a national level.
While much of the talk about guns in Washington, D.C., has revolved around assault rifles, Adams told CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday that lawmakers must also address the problem of illegal handguns.
ERIC ADAMS WINS DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY RACE FOR NEW YORK CITY MAYOR
"I believe those priorities, they really were misplaced and it's almost insulting what we have witnessed over the last few years. Many of our presidents, they saw these numbers, they knew that the inner cities in particular, where Black, Brown, and poor people live, they knew they were dealing with this real crisis," Adams said, citing Atlanta, the South Side of Chicago and the Brownsville neighborhood in Brooklyn as examples.
"It is extremely important that just as we became energetic after we saw mass shootings with assault rifles in the suburban parts of our country – which we should have – we should have also focused on the handgun," Adams continued. "The numbers of those who are killed with handguns are astronomical and if we don't start having real federal legislation matched with states and cities we're never going to get this crisis under control."
NYC DEMOCRATIC MAYORAL NOMINEE ADAMS SAYS TREAT GUN VIOLENCE ‘AS PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY’
Adams is not suggesting that lawmakers ban handguns, rather he wants improved monitoring that could locate illegal guns. This includes gun dealers "where there's a real correlation, connection with the guns that are used in our streets," and paying attention to "feeders" of illegal guns such as bus stations where people are bringing them in.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the Democratic mayoral candidate is expected to meet with President Biden on Monday alongside other local figures to discuss gun violence and stopping illegal weapons. He recently criticized New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's decision to declare a disaster emergency for gun violence, asking "what took so long" for the governor to take action.
Adams will take on Republican Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels anti-crime group, in November's election.


maybe, just maybe - a glimmer of common sense among a fascist DPST party with NONE.

Adams is a former cop - and he is correct about gun violence - get illegal handguns out of the hands of criminals is the solution - not a witch-hunt against fake 'assault' weapons. (read AR-15)..

Declaring a 'Gun public health emergency - that is foolish.

Adams is DPST - and as such - very likely to be the next NYShitty mayor.

Perhaps a slight change in DPST idiotology from marxist radical DumBlasio.



Time will tell.

Joey Bribes invited Adam’s to the WH today. Wouldn’t shock me if he does a 180.

Declaring a 'Gun public health emergency - that is foolish But But its worked so well with the covid BS you know if it worked once why not try it with something else

We'll know soon enough if he "restores" the Gang units and says he will target gangs with stop and frisk every time a known gang member is seen anywhere. This can easily be done by monitoring where known gang members hang out/ live. Put a cop there 24 hours a day and stop and frisk any of them that go outside.


See if it will stand up in court, don't know why it shouldn't. The past "Terry stops" were to "indiscriminate" they said. Don't know what could be poor pointed than stopping a known gang member every time they leave their house. Let's see how they like being "terrorized".


Of course this is a pipe dream because the minute this new Mayor starts locking up hundreds of young Black and Brown males, the sooner they will be calling for his resignation.


Crime can never be controlled with Democrats in charge. Keep electing the same Democrats and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

Handguns are used more often for crimes.
Thus, the concept of restricting "assault weapons" (rifles) is misdirected in the first place.

Adams actually going to that concept is a breath of fresh air.

HF - UC - thank you.

Never, trust a fascist DPST as to what they say to get elected.

He will be forced /or voluntarily - change his POV to the LSM narrative.

I don't see that happening. I hope I'm wrong.

"Escape from New York" - turned NY shitty into a giant max security prison.

Put up the walls - and forget about it.



Problem solved. Transfer all the NY politicos in Albany there before the last gate is locked adn bolted.

I doubt it. Putting people in prison for long terms is the only solution. Can he, will he?

NY Shitty - No law-abiding citizens may have guns.

DeBlasio cares less about the gangs and criminals armed with illegal pistols, rifles, and FA weapons.



Gotta keep fear in the minds of the law-abiding citizens to enforce DPST lockdowns!
