Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said that the drop in murders and shootings stem from a wide range of strategies that include deploying more officers in crime-ridden areas and the controversial stop-and-frisk tactic. “We’re taking 8,000 weapons annually out of the hands of people we stop, 800 of them illegal guns,” Kelly said. Guns are the leading cause of murders in the city this year, killing 237 people.

First, guns don't commit murder. Second, they make it look like this stupid and misleading statement is a quote from Kelly.

Since all guns are illegal in NYC, the other 7,200 weapons include 32 ounce sodas and subway trains?
