We need Democrat Run City Control. Make them illegal. They are killing too many people.

None were properly maintained.

What do you expect?

Is murder not already restricted? Did that prevent it?

Areas that don't have more drive-by shootings have these things in common.....

1) People living there value life.
2) People who have guns are trained in gun safety, responsibility, and marksmanship.

....and yet "common sense gun laws" would prevent this?

Because in NYC you can get meth, coke, fentanyl, underage prostitutes and hire people to kill someone....but gosh golly, criminals and intended murderers won't be able to get guns?

Blaming guns is extremely politically useful. I mean who doesn't like be able to blame your areas problems on the other party while ignoring them? It's perfect, except for solving the root problem.

Funny how the Left is all about gun control but couldn't give a fat rats backside about people/criminal control.

Good grief, criminals never followed the laws and always carried regardless. The Supreme Court said the state did not have the right to inhibit law abiding citizens’ right to carrry. I highly doubt this shooter had legal weapon. Remember, the state still requires application for a permit to carry, it’s just the state can’t deny you that for no reason like they could before. If you don’t have a criminal record, you can get a carry permit; and if you do have a criminal record, it doesn’t matter you will carry anyway.

If this shooter did not have a gun they would have used another weapon. I would bet the shooter either knew the victim or it was gang or drug related. This death has NOTHING TO DO with law abiding citizens conceal carrying.

When will the left acknowledge the real issue at play? The breakdown of the family and standards for behavior? They won’t, because that is not a platform they can run on. It’s really that simple.

Stop and frisk would not prevent this crime. As I stated. Why do you conflate all these other societal ills?
