NY Times:
Seeking a National Voice, 15 Mayors Meet on Gun Violence. “Douglas A. Muzzio, a professor of public affairs at Baruch College, said Mr. Bloomberg’s power may be largely limited to moral suasion, particularly given the continuing declines in crime in New York City.” I understand how that could bias viewpoints, but this is not an argument against, in my view; look at total numbers/frequency, rather than ‘declines.’ Walking the streets of NYC to work in the ‘80’s, I’d encounter a gun homicide on the street about every month or two - something I’d never ever seen growing up in Princeton, NJ; once I passed a corpse riddled with automatic submachine gun fire by the corner of the Post Office and Penn Station first thing in the morning. My danish and coffee went in the nearest trash bin; no stomach for that kind of sight. Concealed-carry wouldn’t have prevented this ... a pistol can’t defy a submachine gun, except in movies.
