Mayor Eric Adams led New York’s top elected officials in excoriating the US Supreme Court for overturning a century-old state gun law — warning at a Thursday press conference that “this decision has made every single one of us less safe from gun violence.”
“There is no place in the nation this decision affects as much as New York City,” Adams said in response to the 6-3 ruling, which he added was “just not rooted in reality.”
“The opinion claims to be based on the nation’s historical past, but does not account for the reality of today. It ignores the present and it endangers our future,” he continued.

Maybe he thought that he was saying that because of the Supreme Court ruling that “criminal New Yorkers” are now less safe? As the Supreme Court ruling only applies to law abiding Americans who have passed the background checks to own firearms and have applied for and will be granted firearms concealed carry permits.

All this did was change NY from a “may issue” to “shall issue” state. This means permit holder still have the same background check and same training.
As a holder of a NYC pistol license, the real difference is future applicants won’t have to give $10k (yes, that’s what I paid) to a shady lawyer who apparently pays $7k to various Democrats and keeps $3k so some clown signs a sheet of paper.
Pistol permits are just another racket used in NYC to keep the ruling class armed and the kulaks, er middle class, unarmed so they get robbed by the Democrat base criminals.
Top and bottom against the workers.

You would think that no one could possibly be worse than de Blasio, but the new Mayor is giving the old stoner a run for his money.

The dims have no governance ability, so they must constantly be grasping for something to blame their failures on. Crime was rising in NY prior to this ruling. But a failed leader will try to bamboozle the people who elected him into believing it’s not his fault.

"The citizens of NYC are less safe", what a load of BS. If the liberals in NYC and NY State don't try to circumvent the SCOTUS ruling it will be the criminals who are less safe. But we all know that democrats favor criminals over honest citizens so at this point anything could happen.

Hey Libs, your recent history shows that you have no respect for law and order. You have left millions of Americans at risk from your lax policies on crime (catch and release, steal up to $950) , border enforcement (let'em through and spread them around the country after midnight) , riot control (Antifa and BLM) and recent failures of courage by law enforcement in school shootings. No way can Americans count on you to protect us and our families.

Only a complete freakin moron can make a statement like that. This guy is no different than the black thugs he protects on a daily basis. Again, NYC gets what they voted for. A freakin commie. When do these fools wake up..

Exactly wrong. Now, begins the process of letting NY honest citizens begin to fight back effectively against the violent criminal class which has robbed, maimed and killed with impunity for over a century in the city.
Payback is coming and it'll be bad for the criminal class, and wonderful for the honest people of NY.

I didn’t even have to read this article to know what they said:
“It makes us less safe”
“It will be the Wild Wild West”
“This is dangerous”
Back when Colorado became a “shall issue” state (when we had real Republicans in the statehouse) every Democrat and big-city police chief said the same things. Of course, none of these things came to pass. They’re Democrats. They lie about everything. It’s what Democrats do.

“this decision has made every single one of us less safe from gun violence.”
Right. It's going to be the wild west in NYC, with running gun battles in the streets and on the subway.
Wait, too late, you already have that.

He misspoke. He really meant the criminal
class will be less safe… right? I live in an open carry state. I’m not seeing a issues. Criminals have no go neighborhoods which is a good thing.

Yada, yada, yada. Get your childish, stupid, wrongheaded hissy fits out of the way and sit down and write a NEW LAW which will have an objective set of standards that any law abiding adult can meet to obtain a concealed carry permit.
All their stupid ranting will come to nothing.
And, like EVERY OTHER STATE which has made carrying a concealed weapon easier and simpler, violent crime against individuals will DECREASE, and a certain fraction of the violent "muggers" will get shot or will at least get a close look at a gun muzzle and run away as fast as they can. Some of the violent crazies will be killed by the folks they attack, cleansing the city and the gene pool a bit.
And more people will discover that owning and carrying a gun makes people SAFER not less safe.
But that less is still in the future for the mind-numbed anti-gun zealots of NY. They will learn that they were wrong and the Founding Fathers and those who are armed every day are right.

Eric, dear, crime has increased since you and your Soros bought and paid for buddy, Alvin Bragg, came on the scene. Do you really think the bad guys won’t get guns because of some laws? Those who assault, rape, Rob, murder, have already shown the law means nothing to them, so why would they obey gun laws? That’s just stupid.

Does it hurt being an idiot? Did you have to be trained to be this stupid, or is it genetic?

Democrats are like kindergarteners throwing temper tantrums when they don't get their way. Love to watch their meltdown when their intimidation and tactics don't work. They spew crap like there will be more violence now instead of less. Thank God for our supreme court.
