Rochester, like many other cities run by weak, “progressive” administrators, is suffering from the effects of their leadership:
“In response to the “unprecedented levels” of gun violence that Rochester, New York has faced this year, Mayor Lovely Warren declared a state of emergency on Friday. According to Warren’s order, gun violence in the city has been up 95 percent over the last year. As of Monday, Rochester has reported 301 shooting incidents this year resulting in injuries to 360 victims. On Thursday, another three people were killed in Rochester, bringing the city’s total homicides to 71 this year …”
Clearly all the new gun control legislation Albany passed is having an effect.
Not one to miss a press opportunity, Senator Schumer chimes in:
“… He’s pushing for universal backgrounds checks for gun purchases, an automatic weapons ban and to have more personnel in the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives to curb the proliferation of guns …”
Platitudes, nothing more. Schumer had to opportunity to push gun control with David Chipman’s nomination and he left him out to dry. I do not see him trying to do anything on the issue right now.
