The Brooklyn Subway Attack Just Unraveled the Gun Control Argument Presented in NYSRPA v. Bruen.<\/a><\/p>\n

The\u00a0attack that occurred in New York City<\/a>\u00a0subway yesterday is proof positive that gun\u00a0control, as envisioned by the Gun\u00a0Control Industry and like-minded politicians, simply does not work. Honest, hard-working people were going about their day in Brooklyn, headed to work. Thanks to the intransigence of their local and state governments, these people were completely disarmed, left to the mercy of someone who\u2019d planned his attack to do the most damage possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst responders\u201d were too late to do anything about the shooting. They always are.<\/p>\n

As a former police officer, I know the sad truth. We virtually always respond to events\u00a0after<\/em> the fact. We rarely prevent them from occurring. What stops bad people from doing terrible things is good people. Good people who are there, at the scene, and armed.<\/p>\n

New York City\u2019s Mayor, Eric Adams, a former NYPD officer, knows this, but like so many before him, he chooses to ignore it. Instead, he spews the same old media-friendly prescriptions of increasing the number of police in NYC\u2019s Subways. It\u2019s all just security theater that will continue to leave the city\u2019s residents vulnerable to the rising crime and violence that have plagued the city.<\/p>\n
