Mayor Adams highlighted his administration's success in combating gun violence in New York, claiming the confiscation of over 20,000 illegal firearms, including more than 1,400 untraceable ghost guns. His priorities focus on making the city streets safer, with homicides and shootings declining significantly over the past three years. The statistics underscore a commitment to keeping illegal guns away from criminals, ultimately aiming to protect families and save lives in the community.
We have confiscated more than 20,000 illegal firearms since we first took office. That is 20,000 weapons that no longer threaten the safety of our neighborhoods.
Of the 20,000 guns we have seized, more than 1,400 of them have been identified as ghost guns - the untraceable firearms that are far too easy to obtain and assemble.
