Mayor Adams signed a couple of bills into law Tuesday formalizing Times Square as a “gun-free zone”—even as the designation remains in legal limbo due to a recent ruling from a federal judge in upstate New York. Times Square was among a long list of locations that the state Legislature this summer designated as “sensitive areas” where guns would be banned. The legislative action from Albany aimed to counteract the Supreme Court’s reversal of a long-standing New York restriction on carrying firearms in public.(Snip)“This is the heart of our city,” Adams said before signing the measures, “and you don’t want a city, particularly here, where

Comments:

Wouldn't it be more progressively visionary to designate Times Square, and in fact the entire Rotten Apple, as a crime-free zone?

This is a great idea!!!! All those criminals ready to commit, robbery, murder and mayhem will make sure they take their guns out of their pockets because the punishment will be so tough. The NYC DA is so tough on crime these sociopaths are all running for the hills of the northern Bronx.

Assuming gang bangers and just-plain-nut-cases can read your signage, that should do it. But wouldn't it be simpler if Horse-Ass-Adams just made shooting people illegal? Body count starts when the signs go up.

Passing unconstitutional laws and putting up "Gun Free Zone" signs does NOT reduce gun violence. Rather, it turns Times Square into a shooting gallery, where the perp knows full well that the targets are unarmed. Ignore this law.

Next thing, we’ll hear that all of the businesses in Times Square are going broke. Adams will not be able to figure out why so he’ll just ask for more cash bailouts from the taxpayers.

A swank midtown Manhattan hotel will be home to hundreds of migrant families, Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday, announcing that the Row NYC is being turned into the latest “humanitarian relief center” to grapple with an influx of asylum seekers in the city. The four-star Row NYC hotel—located in pricey Times Square and formerly the iconic Milford Plaza—will initially house 200 migrant families and will have the ability to take on even more in the coming weeks, Adams said. The $400-a-night hotel—once billed as being “in the center of it all”—has more than 1,000 rooms and is located in the same district as PS 33,

American students are struggling even though the government sent billions of dollars in COVID-19 relief money to school districts to offset learning loss, according to a study released Tuesday. The study says the federal largesse fell short, failed to target the schools in greatest need and wasn’t tied to policy outcomes. Analysts at the American Educational Research Association said schools likely need $700 billion to address learning loss, mainly from remote instruction, but received about $189 billion from the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund in 2020 and 2021. The funds, including about $120 billion tucked into President Biden’s massive pandemic relief bill last year,

Special counsel John Durham, in what is likely the final trial of his probe into the origins of the FBI’s Trump-Russia collusion investigation, let the bureau off the hook for misconduct, casting it as a hapless victim of a dishonest Russian analyst named Igor Danchenko. Mr. Danchenko, a critical source for the anti-Trump dossier, lied to FBI officials and spurred their “troubling” behavior while going after the Trump campaign in 2016, prosecutors said Tuesday in opening statements at Mr. Danchenko’s trial. “The Steele dossier caused the FBI to engage in troubling conduct. The defendant’s lies played a role in that conduct,” prosecutor Michael Keilty told the jurors

Homeland Security is rushing to recruit volunteers from within its ranks to vet Americans who want to sponsor Ukrainians fleeing their country amid the ongoing war with Russia. The move is the latest sign that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is overwhelmed by the demands the Biden administration is placing on it, according to former officials who worry that the raw recruits are being sought to “rubber-stamp” all applications. The volunteers are supposed to carry out the Biden administration’s plan to welcome 100,000 Ukrainian migrants by connecting them with sponsors who have vowed to make sure the newcomers are financially supported and don’t become a burden on taxpayers.

Attempts by Oxford University researchers and AstraZeneca Plc (AZN.L) to create a nasal-spray version of their jointly developed COVID-19 shot suffered a setback on Tuesday as initial testing on humans did not yield the desired protection. An antibody response in the respiratory mucous membranes was seen in only a minority of participants in the trial, which was in the first of usually three phases of clinical testing, the University of Oxford said in a statement on Tuesday. Also, the immune response measured in the blood was weaker than that from a shot-in-the-arm vaccination. Researchers across the world have placed high hopes on nasal spray vaccines
