The only fear here is if the Supreme Court fails.

‘Be very afraid’: Mayor Adams predicts peril in NYC if Supreme Court strikes down gun license law - Yahoo Sports

NEW YORK — Welcome to Fear City 2.0. New Yorkers should be “very afraid” of what will happen on city streets if the Supreme Court strikes down a state law requiring a license for carrying a concealed firearm, Mayor Eric Adams said Thursday. The Supreme Court is in coming weeks expected to issue...

Mayor Adams should be arrested for the next shooting that happens as a party to the shooting

 

[jimc]

If permits to carry are no longer needed, my prediction will be NO significant increase in 'gun violence', but a VERY significant increase on news reports. For anyone not really paying attention to numbers, it will look like things have gotten much worse.

 

[FP1201]

Same old "Wild West" doom & gloom.
Adams mentioned multiple shootings in NYC but omits the illegalities of guns, particularly handguns in NYC, he also calls out "lax gun Laws" but that is an erroneous diversion to the problem the exist in Democrat controlled Cities.

 

[Celt]

Statistically we all know what he saying is false as cities with the highest private gun ownership have the lowest crime rates. This is a statistical fact, but that will never stop the leftists from lying through their teeth to scare the Sheep. My big hope is that the scotus ruling will allow law-abiding citizens to carry guns in New York City without a permission slip.

People out here carry all the time. not so much in the big cities, but in Williams, Hurricane (Hur-i-can) Bolder city, Payson and you can't carry anywhere that serves alcohol. If a place does sell alcohol, you must "check" your firearm at the door or upon request.

In the west, where it is legal to open carry, literally, no one cares

edit: and when someone out here finds out we're from NY, its ALWAYS the "Big apple" to which I respond, "no, Im from the real NY, upstate, no one I know wants to go to that crime infested rotten apple" some people are shocked I would say that, but I tell them "look at whats happening there, crime is through the roof, you can't defend yourself if you get mugged" Most people just rise an eyebrow and move on, after that

Actions have consequences and these are the consequences of your liberal bail reform laws.

 

[livingston]

Adams, who has made cracking down on gun violence his top policy priority as mayor, said he’s hopeful that the city will be able to “carve out” zones where guns will be prohibited even if the top court scratches the licensing requirement, such as schools and subways.

Adams is a bigger disaster of a mayor than diblassio was. Everything he's said and done so far has been wrong. He's like NYS's version of Brandon.

 

[Cooolone]

Yeah, here is the NY Post Article to the same effect...

Eric Adams ‘very concerned’ about SCOTUS ruling that could lift NY open carry ban

Mayor Eric Adams is “very concerned” about the possible reversal of a state ban prohibiting New Yorkers from openly carrying loaded firearms on city streets.

nypost.com

Guess he skips right past the questions the Justices had presented to NY about those States and municipalities that do not restrict ownership do not exhibit the manifested fears prescribed by the State (AG) on the same premise.

Also does not address the Right to Individual Defense!

Maybe when politicians open their mouth about their fears, they should learn how to assuage the fears of its citizens that don't have security details! How they would go about protecting themselves from the criminal element being allowed to run rampant in his domain!

But ultimately, the futility of these politicans trying to proclaim that somehow or another their particular case rises above the interest of the individual citizen and their Right(s). How they, and only they, have the answers and that therefore all citizenry should follow their whims!

Simply amazing!

Maybe this idiot should just let the chips fall where they may, and stop hypersensationlizing something that hasn't happened. And maybe the balance being restored to citizens in regard to defense will also balance the crime statistics for the city. Didn't he recently ask for help? Lol...

But you can expect it won't matter. The city AG will most certainly make examples of every day citizens deciding to defend themselves while gangbangers and career criminals are set free to do their thing!

So, fuck NY... Keep your pieces of shit you want to coddle. There's plenty of free roaming places to live and enjoy life absent the heavy hand of govt dictating how to do so, or by deciding what is permissible!

And when all of the most recent states proposed and then passed constitutional carry, the antis were screaming there would be blood in the streets. They were very wrong.

I spoke to a local police officer at a social event we both attended about a pedestrian struck by a pickup truck in town two weeks prior; he said the driver of the truck had a Glock under the seat. He then stated more than half the guys he does a traffic stops on have a legal pistol with them.

 

[Phazer]

A law-abiding citizen "allowed" to carry a defensive firearm does not suddenly become murderous just because they have a pistol on their person.

Criminals will remain criminals.

Bottom line: Crime rates do not increase.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Really? I would think they are already very afraid because of what the left has done to NY Shitty.

Eric Adams is a long-legged mac daddy acting like a pimp.
Can you see the shootings over "parking spaces" in downtown Manhattan?
The libs love to use this analogy for two reasons. (besides being mentally ill)
1.) They hear and read about biker gang members shooting other biker gang members over a "parking space",
2.) They would love to shoot their pesky neighbor over a parking space.
What they don't realize it bikers are talking about the "parking space" of a patch on the back of their jackets. Like Hells Angels - Santa Monica. The Santa Monica patch in the right parking space.

I would love to see the "Sulivan Act" overturned as a downright infringement on our civil rights, and if it is, shouldn't we be refunded all the cost involved to obtain the Permit to Carry in the first place. My cost was well over $300 and hell I could buy a new gun with that. Wouldn't that make Eric Adams shit a brick?
Then, If it is deemed unconstitutional all the records for the gun licenses should be destroyed. Every serial number every bullet on fire from the test firing. Every name of every holder.
Call it the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine.
But alas for those reasons it will remain in place. NY City will be instructed to halt the restrictions. I hope I'm wrong.

I have no first or even secondhand knowledge. But, I can picture the type he is. If he were to stop for a drink on his way home, it would be at a swanky $30.00 per the cocktail place where the elite meet to beat the heat.
He would have an entourage and order the best cognac on the shelf and never offer to buy anyone else a drink.
It would be like watching a pimp or gangsta rapper with their crew.
Seen it a dozen times with other long-legged mac daddies.

 

[RedBreast21]

It's pretty clear the Democrats have nothing but pure contempt for their constituents. To assume that they can't be given control over their own safety or that they aren't capable of managing their own lives or safety. Yeah, tell me about slavery again? Oh the chains are gone but the mental chains are there, put on by and worn proudly by their constituents. lol

When I meet new people and explain that I'm from. Western NY their response is frequently:

"OH, you mean south Canada".

In many ways, they're not wrong.

Except Adams wouldn't pay the tab. He'd talk someone else into picking it up with an implied promise of a favor later that he never delivers on.

I think many of the anti gun folks project their own mental illnesses and lack of self control onto everyone else. They are afraid of people have guns they will shoot each other over parking spots or every disagreement between people will be a shootout. I think what they really mean is they are worried that’s what they would do if they had a gun. Their mental illness is not everyone else’s problem.

 

[pshift]

I think that NYC will be safer when the criminals suspect that granny *may* be carrying a Glock 19.
