On March 10, 2025, Mayor Eric Adams held a press conference announcing that the NYPD had confiscated over 1,000 illegal guns, countering claims that New York City is unsafe. While surrounded by Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch and confiscated firearms, Adams directly addressed critics, stating that critics' fears are unfounded and that the city's crime statistics tell a different story. As he faces low approval ratings and numerous challengers in the upcoming primary, Adams aims to reinforce his commitment to fighting crime and responding to public safety concerns.
Stop saying our city is in chaos and crisis. The numbers don't lie; your noise lies, Adams said. Let's stay focused on what we're doing.
The NYPD has taken over 1,000 illegal guns off the streets, showcasing part of our efforts against crime during my first term.
