Gunfire Injures Man in NYC Subway, Suspect at Large: Report
TimeMAR 18 2022
Sunday's shooting is just the latest episode of gun violence in New York and further evidence that gun restrictions need to be tightened. It's time to implement legislation to protect New Yorkers and prevent these tragedies.
While the ongoing gun violence is tragic, the reality is that guns don't kill; people do. Rather than trampling on the Second Amendment, we should focus on toughening up on offenders who use guns to facilitate their crimes.
The subway system - NY's lifeblood to economy and travel - is in a precarious condition. Weekday ridership hovers below 60% of pre-pandemic levels, yet violent crime is rising. A turnaround will require mutual effort from law enforcement and New Yorkers alike; police need to crack down on the crime and citizens need to support police presence.
