NY has the most strictest gun laws in the nation.
Stricter gun laws will stop criminals from shooting people.

So... how would the cab drivers having a gun have helped him? No guns would mean just that. No guns. Lets not play games, if the powers that be wanted it thus, no guns could mean just that. That guy is such an outlier it isn't funny. Did the cab have bullet-proof glass? Just asking...

Nobody said having or not having a gun impacted the cab driver.
If the powers that be can control criminals then why aren't they? Why do we still have drugs? Why do we still have illegal immigrants working at McDonald's? Why do gangs is CA still have full auto guns?

Why the cab driver didn't pull out the "GUN FREE ZONE" sign? He should let the gunman know NYC has gun banned and he, the gunman should obey the ban.

He could at least defended himself & make the robber think twice.

Gun laws work quite well in NYC, quite safe. Pointing to one shooting to claim strict gun laws don’t work borders on the insane. Anyone know where the gun was purchased, my guess is a state with loose gun laws.
