If Governor Hochul’s signature gun control law were working as advertised, why is this still going on?

“The Gun Violence State of Emergency in Rochester was renewed once again Wednesday. The state of emergency was first enacted on July 21, 2022. The original “Proclamation of a Local State of Emergency” was meant to give the mayor additional powers to “protect life and property and to bring the emergency under control.” Rochester Mayor Malik Evans said Wednesday there had been 24 homicides and more than 100 shooting victims in 2024 so far.”

As far as I can tell, nobody in the regime media has asked either Hochul or Evans this question.

WIVB reports:

“Buffalo Common Councilwoman Zeneta Everhart is pushing for the City of Buffalo to establish a gun violence prevention office in order to combat gun violence at the local level. The initiative is aimed to provide support for families that have been impacted by gun violence, implement evidence-based interventions, encourage community engagement and work with local law enforcement to address illegal gun trafficking in the city …”

The initiative is aimed at putting Democrat-party connected political cronies on a government payroll. That’s it, nothing more. They’ve been pushing this sort of thing in Albany the last few years.
