This is hardly news, I know, but they are doing everything to eliminate it. NYC gun-permit applications are rising, but the NYPD isn't approving many
Seems like someone should sue.
The 8,088 applications for first-time pistol and rifle permits submitted since March 22 — when coronavirus-related restrictions went into effect — represent a threefold-plus increase over the 2,562 submitted between March 22 and Dec. 31, 2019, NYPD statistics obtained by The Post this week show.
Only about 14% of permits have been approved.
An NYPD source familiar with the situation said the License Division was too short-staffed to deal with the flood of new applications and also blamed an unofficial reluctance to process them.
“The politicians are generally against giving licenses, to begin with, so it’s not a priority,” the source said.
Self-defense is a human-right. Hat tip to Wirecutter.
At no point in my entire life here to USA have I been unarmed. And yes for several decades that was as a Prohibited Possessor. Did not matter. Guns are VERY easy to buy if you just know how and from who exact same for criminals. There is NO gun law that will prevent a criminal from getting one. None.
