First they came for the assault weapons, and I didnt speak up because I didnt own an assault weapon.

Then they came for the handguns...

[mountainlion]

They will come after taxi cabs and subways when they see how many people are killed by them.

Handguns wielded by whom? Street thugs, who aren't going to turn theirs in. Any upstanding citizen who registers one will be without protection and a prospective victim of both thugs and the state--but that is redundant, isn't it?

“He said 60 percent of murders in the city are done by handguns.”

100% are committed by humans

This can’t be true. It’s illegal to carry a handgun in NYC...it must be black assault rifles, got to be black, they’re more deadly than the shiny ones.

[Jack Hammer]

Well, for goodness’ sake, Kelly, pass a law against handguns, and all the criminals will hurry to turn them all in.

Whoops, wait a minute....

[3Fingas]

Since handguns are so dangerous and there is already a law against carrying them in NYC, why don’t the police and the security details of rich give up their guns too? Ray Kelly suffers what many others in the ruling government elite suffer from. They are hypocrites. In their minds, only the special people are allowed to have guns. The average law-abiding citizen is left defenseless against the thugs who don’t care what laws are passed. The police usually arrive in time to etch the chalk lines at the crime scene.

Why doesn’t this runt Kelly set an example and have his 30,000 officer department get rid of their “assault” weapons?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

The “main problem” in NYC is an over abundance of barbarians and sociopaths.

[varyouga]

Handguns are already pretty much outlawed in NYC. Only the elite can buy ONE handgun after much waiting, paperwork and paying lots of money to the right people. And that’s just to keep one at home. Loaded concealed carry has to be “justified” by owning a business and holding lots of cash or expensive merchandise.

I can’t remember the last time a legal handgun was used by anyone in NYC to commit a crime. The criminals have no trouble buying guns in the street however.

This is something that needs to be pointed out.

Their “solution” has nothing or very little to do with the “problem” THAT THEY ARE PUTTING FORTH.

They need to be called on it - “YOU HAVE ANOTHER GOAL THAN YOU ARE STATING”.
