"A Bronx Dunkin’ Donuts owner became the latest New Yorker to take a blade to the face yesterday, after a homeless man she had ejected from her business earlier returned seeking revenge."
Yep, all those New York City anti gun laws are working great.
Mercy knows how many homeless folks would be using guns for revenge without such wonderful laws in place.
As a young man, de Blasio’s ideals took him to Nicaragua in 1988 to support the Sandinistas. The US government under President Ronald Reagan feared it would turn into another Cuba — i.e., a Soviet satellite. A few years later, he and his new bride honeymooned in Fidel Castro’s Havana. Then, in 2002, as a city councilman, he welcomed Zimbabwe strongman Robert Mugabe to City Hall.
You have to admit, his administration has come up with a novel way to reduce overall crime; decriminalizing crimes will almost always cause the crime rate to drop.
And now the city will no longer arrest people for low-level crimes, the very strategy that significantly reduced overall crime in NYC under Rudy Giuliani.
Unless it’s “necessary for public safety reasons,” the NYPD will no longer arrest people for certain low-level offenses in Manhattan, including public consumption of alcohol, public urination, littering and riding between subway cars or taking up more than one subway seat—and Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. will no longer prosecute those infractions, his office said today.
I guess to RED BILL (That is his official nickname even in New York Liberal circles) That makes sense. Next they'll start banning Box cutters, Razors and scissors .I knew people way back when in Brooklyn, had wide belts with buckles that you cold sharpen into a razor like weapon. When needed in a fight, they'd unsnap it off and use it like Brass Knuckles but slash your face with it.
So what you're inferring is that banning guns does not in fact actually deter violent crime, and that some people will assault other people with whatever means happen to be available at that time?
Bull you say. It's just a coincidence that this is happening in NYC and now DC, as they're the safest cities in the union with their strict gun control and massive police forces.
What a strategy! Decriminalize "low level" crimes to put more criminals back on the streets and then criminalize self defense so they can replace the criminals in prison with otherwise law-abiding citizens who simply want to protect themselves and their families. And, to top it all off everyone in the middle has a higher likelihood of being violently assaulted by the now free prior criminals.
Talk about making a silk purse out of a sow's ear. This is like implying that it's a good thing that heroin use is up because the police are cracking down on meth labs. I notice DeBozo also says that knives and razors are "less deadly" than guns. I wonder if he would still be saying that if he got his face slashed.
'The mayor asserted that knives, shivs and razors are “less deadly” than guns, but promised to inaugurate a new campaign to get them out of criminal hands as well.'
So what, going to ban sharp objects in a city of millions? That's completely impossible. You can make a cutting weapon out of pretty much anything in ten minutes.
How can anyone not see that going after weapons is completely delusional?

“I get the reports every day: someone’s jumping a turnstile. Someone had other, committed some other kind of infraction. And when they are addressed by NYPD, it turns out, they have a weapon,” he said.
I'll bet the Mayor doesn't get many reports of well healed types with legal weapons who aren't jumping turnstiles and committing some other types of infractions.
Thanks for asking. We'll move your question right up to bunko and vice.
