Predictably, New Yorkers Against Gun Violence<\/a> would like to change the subject<\/a> to gun control as well<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… The gunman was a dangerous person who reportedly could not legally purchase or possess a firearm due to his criminal record.\u00a0 Reports are that the silver semi-automatic Taurus handgun the shooter used to kill the police officers was purchased in 1996 at a pawn shop in Atlanta \u2013 but not by the shooter.\u00a0 As the shooter could not legally possess a firearm, we urge authorities to determine how this dangerous individual acquired the firearm and hold the person or persons that supplied it accountable, as appropriate …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
