NYPD’s Ray Kelly says illegal guns have turned city into shooting gallery

The key word here being "illegal", New York has some of the toughest gun laws in the country. Those criminals do not abide by laws...here in lies the problem. So innocent citizens who have to jump through hoops to get a gun permit often give up and are often victims of those criminals. Criminals will be armed regardless of how may laws are passed.

Illegal guns banned. hmmmm how stupid does the bluemeister think the citizens of this country are? Only law abiding citizens will obey the law. What would blumberg have Washington do? Confiscate all guns? Stop production of guns and ammunition? Eliminate the second amendment? Enforce the existing laws. I lived in NYC and was brutally assaulted,by a gang of thugs. I had no way to defend myself and almost died. I now live in a state with a concealed permit. Every law abiding citizen should be armed. The cops will be there in minute , maybe, but you'll be raped or killed in seconds. Give people a fighting chance. They had a God given right to defend themselves and their loved one's from thugs or would be tyrants. No second amendment in NYC and frisks. That's a police state and a slippery slope. New York has been a perfect laboratory for the experiment of absolute banning of guns by law abiding citizens. The result, thousands raped and dead. What would those victims have done if they had a 45 caliber semi-auto in their purse or holster. There would be a lot of dead parasites. I always tell my friends about NY and they are in disbelief. NYC is out of step with the constitution. Stop and frisk, ban guns. Always the first steps when a tyrant wants absolute control, hitler, castro, Mao, Staling etc etc etc. Blumberg needs to stay in NY and stop trying to spread his unfounded and dangerously wrong and unconstitutional drivel to my fellow New Yorkers and the rest of the country. Give law abiding citizens concealed permits and there will be thousands of armed Good Guys. The police are powerless against this problem. The people are not the problem, they are part of the solution.

Illegal guns should be banned from the city. Not sure why any one posting here would support the illegal ownership of guns used to shoot at NYPD.

Perfect argument for the ownership of guns by the law a bidding portion of the population. He seems to prove that the outlaws will have them if we don't

"sawed off 'Assault Rifle'? "Military Bullets"? They were .223 - common varmint hunting bullets.I'm assuming this was an M16 variant. You can't saw off anything. There are shorter barrels than the normal 20 inch version but you lose velocity and actually diminish penetration. I like Ray Kelly - he's a good cop - but tis has the stink of Bloomberg all over it.

And there will be more illegal guns if the government try's to control them ,after all our own justice dept.sold guns to the Mexican drug cartels that were used to kill our border patrol agents!
