Many of Biden’s policies would be different from those of the current President Trump if he were to become president. On Friday (Jan. 8), OAN media reported that President Biden declared his intention to “defeat” the National Rifle Association (NRA) by imposing more background checks on gun purchases and banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. magazines). What do New Yorkers think of the Democratic Party’s “gun control” message?
Xavier Mahon, a citizen of New York, thinks an outright ban is not quite right. “I don’t think it’s right to ban guns completely, but I think it’s OK to regulate the weapons that some people carry,” he said. He said. Roger Harry (D) also said that at least shotguns should be allowed. “I think people have the right to be able to hunt.” He said. “But there’s no need for people other than military and police to have guns.”
Natalia (D-N.Y.) favors gun control. She said, “New York State does a good job of regulating guns, and that’s why we choose to live here.” There are also pro-gun advocates in New York City.
“I don’t agree with gun control, I think we have the right to have guns to protect ourselves.” said David Goodman, a citizen. “If you’re a law-abiding citizen, it’s really a right that you have under the U.S. Constitution. Other things can be discussed, like health care, but you can’t touch guns because this thing represents America.” Still others believe that the question of whether Americans want gun ownership or gun control is open to discussion.
Robert K, a New Yorker: “I don’t think it’s right to ban guns altogether.” Robert K (R-NY) said. “But because of the freedom of speech, people can go and discuss it.” So is gun control enough to prevent gun crime? The data suggest not necessarily so. For example, gun violence has been a problem in cities that have adopted strict gun control, such as Chicago and New York City. 2020 saw more than 4,000 shooting victims and 769 gun-related homicides in Chicago, which has some of the strictest gun control measures in the nation. The city saw the most bloodshed in more than 20 years and a 139 percent jump in murders in the year leading up to July 2020, compared to July 2019, according to a police report.
New York City also saw nearly double the number of gun crimes last year compared to the previous year.
