<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Larry Keane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For New York City\u2019s Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio, the gun is the problem, not the criminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why he focused on New York City\u2019s crime problem by restricting law-abiding citizens\u2019 ability to purchase firearms for self-protection. The mayor announced major \u201ccrime reduction\u201d plans twice before and missed by a mile. The mayor\u2019s plan to reduce crime is aimed not at criminals, but those who abide by the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York City crime spiked over the last several months and Mayor de Blasio\u2019s unserious approach<\/strong><\/a> has been a major factor. The accidental<\/a><\/strong> mayor twiddled his thumbs as crime and criminal firearm misuse rose. His plans to keep citizens safe included a billion-dollar<\/a><\/strong> law enforcement budget cut and window dressing<\/strong><\/a> gun buyback events. After those proved ineffective, the mayor announced more of the same with a similar plan<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of cracking down on crime, he\u2019s carping on lawful gun owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve come so far to try to keep guns out of the hands of New Yorkers,\u201d the mayor said<\/a>.<\/strong> \u201cAnd the Supreme Court, it looks like they\u2019re working overtime to put guns right back in those hands. That really worries me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mayor didn\u2019t say \u201ccriminals\u201d or \u201claw-breakers\u201d or \u201cNew Yorkers with concerning mental issues.\u201d He said \u201cNew Yorkers,\u201d because he believes the gun is the problem, not the operator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrong Approach<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

NYC Police Commissioner Dermot Shea also responded to the news of the Supreme Court\u2019s acceptance of hearing the case, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Corlett<\/em>. \u201cWe already have a concerted focus on reducing shootings in New York City; adding more guns to our streets is not the answer to reducing violence,\u201d he said following the SCOTUS announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in 2020, Mayor de Blasio announced his \u201cconcerted focus\u201d included a proposed $1 billion cut in police funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am excited to say that we have a plan that can achieve real reform, that can achieve real redistribution\u2026,\u201d the mayor said<\/a>.<\/strong> The cuts<\/a><\/strong> included reducing school resource officers, eliminating 1,100 police positions, canceling training classes for recruits, paying overtime and even eliminating plans for a new police precinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayor de Blasio made the announcement right as crime rose and community violence and looting were increasing. It\u2019s no wonder law-abiding New Yorkers had an interest in buying a gun for self-protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read the Room<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Throughout 2020, Americans in historic numbers went to federally licensed gun retailers, passed a background check and purchased a firearm. Stating self-defense as a top priority<\/a><\/strong>, 21 million FBI National Instant Criminal Background Checks (NICS) for a gun sale were processed last year, and the pace is continuing in 2021<\/a>.<\/strong> More than 8.4 million of those were to first-time gun buyers. Mayor de Blasio believes these law-abiding Americans who want to protect themselves, their families and their property are the problem, not criminals on the streets of New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Mayor de Blasio continues to blame law-abiding gun owners for the crime problem perpetuated by criminals, it\u2019s not surprising he continues to turn his back on law enforcement and police unions. Americans across the country are taking the right for self-protection into their own hands and the Supreme Court\u2019s impending decision New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Corlett<\/strong><\/em><\/a> may mean New Yorkers will be able to do so in the future without the approval of Mayor de Blasio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gun control proposals from Congress have largely stalled, leaving President Joe Biden to announce executive actions. He claims popular support, but recent polls tell a different story<\/strong><\/a>. Americans\u2019 appetite for gun control is the lowest<\/a><\/strong> it\u2019s been in several years. Politicians singing a gun control tune, including Mayor de Blasio, should exit stage left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For de Blasio, a focus on law enforcement and safety, punishing criminals for their actions and protecting the citizens of New York City would be a better tune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
