      By nothing do you mean improving social safety nets? Completely agree. Otherwise, NY has the most gun control of any other state.

      So much so in NYC, only the bribery class and law breakers can own them. An aside, in a just country, those wouldn’t need to be two distinct groups.

        It’s obviously not good/far enough so little to be proud of.

        When even 1 child is killed in a shooting, it’s too much.

      NYC and New York state having much lower gun crime than other states due to their right gun laws as well as surrounding states also having pretty strict ones.
