In the wake of an uptick in
shootings citywide, a group
of Brooklyn pols unveiled a
three-part plan to keep illegal
guns off city streets on Friday.
“A single act of gun violence
can irreparably damage
the lives of so many people in
our communities,” said State
Senator Andrew Gounardes.
“But these horrifi c acts can
be prevented by getting illegal
guns off of our streets and preventing
guns from falling into
the wrong hands.”
The southern Brooklyn senator,
Bay Ridge Councilman
Justin Brannan, and Kings
County District Attorney Eric
Gonzalez joined members of
the anti-gun group Moms Demand
Action to announce a
COURIER L 20 IFE, OCT. 9-15, 2020
set of proposals to keep fi rearms
off Brooklyn streets —
by cracking down on gun traffi
cking from fi rearm-lenient
states, hosting more gun buyback
events, and continuing
to support community-based
anti-violence groups.
“I remain fully committed
to protecting public safety
in Brooklyn by focusing resources
on those who shoot
and carry weapons in our
neighborhoods, by going after
fi rearms traffi ckers who
bring guns into our city and
by partnering with violence
interrupters and other community
based organizations,”
Gonzalez said in a statement.
To reduce the fl ow of illegal
guns coming into the state,
the pols threw their support
behind two bills in the Albany

legislature that would require
the state to release data on the
origins of illegal guns traffi
cked into New York and to reclassify
major gun traffi cking
to a more severe felony.
“There is just no reason
someone should be able to purchase
guns down south and illegally
resell them here in New
York. We must increase the penalties
for those caught doing so
and go after the gun sellers in
other states who fail to properly
screen their sales. That’s
how we’ll get to the root of the
problem and get illegal guns off
our streets,” Brannan said.
The push comes as the city
has seen a 91.2 percent uptick
in shootings across the Five
Boroughs this year compared
to 2019 — with 1,152 shooting
incidents so far in 2020, compared
to just 603 last year.
While southern Brooklyn
has seen less of a crime spike
than other parts of the city,
the recent fatal shootings of
longtime Bay Ridge resident
Michael Scully on Sept. 7 and
Arfan Butt in Dyker Heights
on Sept. 12 sparked the pols’
call to action.
“In Bay Ridge, we recently
lost a neighbor, Michael
Scully, to gun violence,” Gounardes
said. “These heartbreaking
events demonstrate
why we have to redouble our
efforts to end gun violence in
our great city.”
