On Thursday, Gov. Hochul revealed that the New York State Police had made progress in their push to crackdown on guns, seizing more than twice as many firearms this year as last year.
Hochul said that entering the eighth month of the year, the state cops snatched some 800 guns, a 104% yearly increase.
Hochul claimed that the NYPD’s laser focus on firearms is causing an “enormous increase” in gun seizures.
“We’re proud of it: We’re seizing more illegal firearms; we’re making more communities safe,” Hochul said.
