Eric Adams on Gun Control

 

 


We have to stop the flow of guns; get them off the street

We have to stop the flow of guns, but we must also do the job of getting the guns off the streets that's on there now. My anti-gun unit, just a few weeks out, removed over 20 something guns off the street. But here's the interesting number, 70% of those who were carrying the guns had prior violent offenses. We need to combine with that small number of people who are carrying guns with the large number of guns on our street and get both off our streets.

Reinvent the anti-crime unit as an anti-gun unit

Reinvent the anti-crime unit as an anti-gun unit, hiring officers with the skills and temperament for this kind of intense, on the ground police work by targeting known shooters with precision policing tactics.

Prevent guns from coming in through our bus and train stations with spot checks like the ones we use in subway stations.

Coordinate a multi-state East Coast compact to share information on dirty gun dealers and potential traffickers to make up for a lack of federal response.
