Congressman Dan Goldman Hosts Press Conference Announcing Community-Based Gun Violence Intervention Legislation

There is nothing tangible about legislation like this it is window dressing, something for the politicians to point to which shows they "are doing something" despite not actually having done anything.
The actually solutions to crime and violence a far too complex and difficult for our Nation's lazy, unintelligent l, corrupt and incompetent politicians to actually tackle. Crime and poverty are born of poverty and despair with a topping of mental health. To solve crime is to solve poverty and the mental health crises. It is admittedly an overwhelmingly large problem that no single politician, state or party could hope to solve on their own.
Cultural decay born from decadence is frankly the bigger issue at this point as well. There is no solution to that but the passage of time which brings rot, decay, collapse and rebirth.
But nobody wants to hear that so we pay politicians a great deal of money on buzzwords and do nothing legislation like so many pearls cast before so much swine. Excepting of course in this case the pearls are plastic and fake but your average dumbass on the street will nevertheless gobble them up like in a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos.
I know poverty can "cause" crime, but I don't believe this is a huge cause of gun crime.
There are far more impoverished areas than the inner cities. Places in coal country and the rural South aren't only poor, there is no hope. The Dollar General is fully staffed. That's it, the only employer for 50 miles. Yet tens of thousands of people live there on welfare. Where are the 30+ gun murders on a weekend like Chicago and St Louis?
The inner cities are FULL of places looking for workers. It's impossible to walk one block in a big city without seeing multiple help wanted signs.
And much of the inner city gun murders are done by guys who make $5000 a week selling crack.
The rural South has a lot of drug use, a bit of robbery/burglary issues and quite a bit domestic violence, but very few shootings.
The gun issue will not be fixed until somehow guns and killing aren't part of the inner city culture. Ask any city cop, there are guns passed from father to son, to his son. You can actually be killed if you aren't strapped. Yep, some gangs REQUIRE certain members to carry a gun under threat of death, they have no choice, it's their modern culture.

As a side note, "More Than 17,000 Children and Teenagers Shot Each Year, 4,000 Will Die" I'm not trying be an asshole but that's pretty good odds.
While I cannot cite the exact language and exact Bill (one of the heavy-handed Gun Control Bills of the last five years) the Senate wrote in the preamble/explanation for the necessity of the Legislation, that the need for this Legislation was because of high crime in "undeserved Black communities" that they recognized and knew that guns were "illegally obtained outside of New York State" along with other verbiage blaming Licensed Dealers and the Gun owning community for all the crime and violence committed with illegal firearms...they KNEW the problem, the sources, causes, yet STILL passed bullshit legislation blaming FFL's and Manufacturers.
Given the steam behind the Trump Train, the abject fucking FAILURE of Hochul, and the ever increasing exposure of grift, graft, insider trading, and disguised bribery, even the Left is getting sick of the Democrats shit...not I won't hold my breath for the Legislature to go Right (LOTS of stupid motherfuckers that "vote blue no matter who") but the Senate, is possible, and the Governor is certainly possible.
