We see again that gun control, which is typically directed at stripping away the rights of lawful gun owners, does not stop criminals. As with so many Dem / Socialist Hell holes, their anti-gun legislation is directed at people who overwhelmingly, are responsible citizens. We see Dems / Socialists failing simple logic tests time after time. While their ultimate goal is to disarm the population, they choose not to prosecute entire classes of crimes.
Referenced in the linked article is an interesting fact:
“It is worth mentioning that the rate of gun violence has dropped in the Big Apple even after it became easier for New Yorkers to purchase and carry firearms”
It appears to me that the underlying problem is an ideological failing of the Dems / Socialists. They create lawless societies by way of retrograde notions that criminals are an aggrieved, oppressed class and that “equity” requires their crimes are borne by the public.
New York City, a bastion of gun control, has reportedly been experiencing a sharp rise in stabbings and slashings over the past four years. Despite having some of the strictest gun control laws, the city remains quite dangerous for many residents.
Stabbings and slashings are surging this year across New York City – skyrocketing 26% since 2019, according to disturbing new NYPD data obtained by The Post.
Since Jan. 1 through Aug. 13, the city has seen 3,365 nonfatal stabbings, compared to 2,666 four years ago. The number is also up 5% from the same period last year, which saw 3,208 nonfatal incidents of knife violence.
So far this year, 53 people have died by blade — a shocking 29% increase from 41 in 2019. The tally is down 23% from 2022, which saw 69 people killed by knives.
