“Several elements in the proposal from the mayor would quite frankly make us less safe and lead to more Black and brown people to go to jail,” says former Assembly member Michael Blake, who is critical of Mayor Adam's 'Blueprint to End Gun Violence.'
New York City Mayor Eric Adams laid out his "Blueprint To End Gun Violence" in a speech on Monday, January 24th, 2022.New York City Mayor Eric Adams laid out his "Blueprint To End Gun Violence" in a speech on Monday, January 24th, 2022.
“Blaming our state’s bail reform laws for a national gun control crisis is just the latest in a long history of fear-mongering dog whistles,” State Senator Jessica Ramos, who represents Queens, said on social media. “Don’t fall for it.” “You’re just not going to openly carry guns into our city,” Adams said days after two NYPD officers suffered fatal gunshot wounds while responding to a domestic disturbance call in Harlem.
“That's a step backwards,” said Tina Luongo, also a member of the mayor’s transition committee and attorney-in-charge of the criminal defense practice at the Legal Aid Society. “It is what brought us up in frisk. It is what brought us an increase in the population at Rikers. It brought us the [court] backlog that the mayor is trying to address.”
Adams’ blueprint also expressed support for the city’s existing Crisis Management System, which involves community-based violence prevention teams and is widely viewed as successful. The transition committee called for additional funding and cited city data showing gun violence dropped by 40% in neighborhoods with a program in place, a sharper decrease than in other parts of the city. However, the mayor’s plan offered few details on what that support will look like.
