As part of their response to the Supreme Court’s (SCOTUS) ruling in NYSRPA v. Bruen, New York Democrats secured legislation making Times Square a gun-free zone, even barring concealed carry permit holders from carrying for self-defense.
On June 23 Breitbart News reported SCOTUS’s Bruen ruling, which struck down New York’s proper cause requirement for concealed carry.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) and the state’s Democrat-run legislature responded by enacting numerous new gun controls, including a list of “sensitive” areas where the carrying of guns would be prohibited.

Just curious, what are they going to do when the inevitable criminal shows up with his illegal gun?

Look for assaults, robberies and shootings to increase dramatically. Do the idiots in New York really think the bad guys will follow this law? They can’t be that stupid, can they?

Times Square is a "special criminal protection zone" where no criminals can be harmed while plying their violent trades.

That means it’s open season for whackos and crazies to bring a gun into the gun free zone and start shootin the place up with no fear of a citizen firing back. Let’s see how long it takes.

Will they post signs saying "CRIMINALS WILL ONLY POSSESS GUNS FROM THIS POINT ONWARD" ? Might as well-now Times Square could be the next site of a mass-shooting.

Definitely unconstitutional. Plenty of illegal guns there. Just not the good guys. Don’t go. Send them a message. And most importantly; don’t be a victim.

Times Square is adopting the Nancy Reagan philosophy about guns. Nancy's idea was to "Just say no to drugs"...Times Square says...Just say no to guns in Times Square". Neither one is expected to work.

It has always been that way in NYC, since the anti-Irish Sullivan Laws were passed about 100 years ago. Now NY, since cuomo has been outlawing any legal firearm by ignoring the paperwork for 2 years and then forcing a refile. They are starving out dealers and any legal gun owners. Of course all of it is illegal, but the state cops and feds are enforcing when ever they feel like it. Don't be smug about it never happening where you are because the rats are on the move and they know NO one of any power will oppose them. After they steal another election with the cover of the media, ALL of us will be NYers.

SCOTUS will shoot (no pun intended) this down in due time. It doesn’t apply to me anyway since I never intend to visit NYC again. My state of Georgia just passed constitutional carry with some reasonable restrictions on where you are entitled to carry. Won’t affect the murder rate much since most of the blacks doing all the killing don’t pay attention to any gun laws anyway but it would might save a life or two when an honest citizen defends himself.

I guess nobody thought of making Times Square a criminal-free zone...but then it wouldn't feel like NY. Not "edgy" enough.

Oh darn, I see more Legal Gun Owners heading for Florida where you can CC almost everywhere! The Free State of Florida! But then, the NY Mayor said she didn't want Those Folks in NY anyway! Won't be long and Times Square will be a Ghost Town! Only the CC BLM will be on that Playground! Once they clean out anything valuable, they will move on to Greener pastures!

That's the ticket. The school in Uvalde Texas was a 'Gun Free Zone' too. Might as well post a Happy Hunting sign for the knockout thugs. Holiday shopping comes early.

The Fascist Democrats are in the planning stage for a other "Reichstag fire" massacre. Like the Democrat violent offender in Bend Oregon released from jail after threatening he makes good and the "black rifle" is to blame. This next one will be no different than Gendron in Buffalo that had both a criminal and mental health record yet the Safe Act state of New York APPROVED THE PURCHASE of not one, but THREE GUNS!

Rather lengthy list:
“[a]ny place owned or under the control of federal, state or local government, for the purpose of government administration, including courts.”
In simpler terms: Any facility run by the government, from a public school to a congressman’s office to the local municipal water office, is a gun-free zone.
Public transportation is off limits, as well as all of Times Square and any public park.Sidewalks and streets are to be free of firearms whenever people are gathered to exercise their First Amendment right to peacefully assemble, which makes merely walking around outside armed a legal minefield. Even if a concealed-carry permit holder were to carefully map out a route across town and check with the local authorities to make sure no demonstrations were scheduled, there’s no way to assure one doesn’t walk into an impromptu protest – especially in the big cities of the state. As Liberty Nation’s Graham J. Noble put it, “This list of locations covers almost every conceivable public space
.”Private property is now restricted by default, as the law requires gun-friendly owners to either provide verbal permission or post “clear and conspicuous signage indicating that the carrying of firearms, rifles, or shotguns on their property is permitted.”

How the blazes are they going to do that? Times Square isn't a square; it's just a wide spot in the road of Broadway.
Are they going to add barriers or at least paint a line around was is considered "Times Square" so if you are legally carrying, you can walk around it? What if you are in a bus or taxi and it drives thru Times Square", not knowing you are carrying? How are they going to provide security on New Year's Eve?
This is all PR. "Look at us. See what we are doing to protect you against gun violence?"
