Smoke grenades and shooting in NY subway:

But hey, we NEED all those AK47's and AR15's and 50 caliber machine guns to we can just get our supply of deer and caribou and we need to protect our family from the coming Civil War II.

Nice to see our shootings are back to pre-pandemic levels.

I'm for gun control. I believe it prevents suicides and accidental shootings and people who wouldn't commit gun crimes if guns were more difficult to obtain.
However, people who shoot multiple people in subway stations and set explosives, that potentially cold kill more are willing to violate the law

Right, except this happened in the place with "some of the strictest and most complicated gun laws in the country."

Your post assumes the gun used was purchased in NY:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2017/10/04/las-vegas-shooter-bought-33-guns-last-12-months/730634001/

The Las Vegas shooter brought guns from Utah, California and Texas, in addition to Nevada.

No matter how strict NY gun laws are they can't stop people from shopping around in other states. Strict guns laws need to be nationwide.

Would it be correct to say they smuggled the guns across state lines and they could have been intercepted by police?

strange how mass shootings ramp up when dems are in power isnt it?

The first mass shooting happened in Austin, Texas, under LBJ, a Democrat. Now, yes, mass shootings have happened under Republican presidents. But far more have happened under DEMOCRAT presidents. Virtually all shootings happened in Democrat-controlled states cities.

advertisement
• Bill Clinton — 8 mass shootings, 62 dead, 78 injured.

• Barack Obama — 24 mass shootings, 236 dead, 257 injured.

• Now Biden — 1 mass shooting, 10 dead.

So, out of 53 total since 1966, there have been 33 under DEMOCRAT presidents. Virtually all 53 have occurred in Democrat-controlled states/cities. One has happened in Florida. But Miami has a Democrat mayor.

None of these stats account for daily/weekly shootings in Lightfoot’s Chicago or L.A/Oakland/ Detroit/Atlanta/Philly/New York/Baltimore.

So if we follow the science, as Democrats say, we should be locking up the Democrats. There is where the danger lies to the country. The proof is in the science and the facts. A gun is just an inert object incapable of doing any harm — unless in a Democrat’s hands.

To all moderate Democrats, this is not pointed at you and I mean no insult. One last thing: Biden has had since 1973 to help the mentally ill but has done absolutely nothing to help the USA. Nothing but back up to the pay window every month since 1973!

He came from AZ is seems.

@vivify said
So my initial instinct seems correct: he brought the guns from a different state. Strict gun laws need to be nationwide in order to work.

It is very difficult for me to imagine not having a gun for protection in my house,
