Crime and guns

President Biden visited New York City to talk about the increase in crime. He zeroed in on gun control. Crime in New York was running rampant in the 1990's and Rudy Giuliani became mayor and cracked down and crime quickly declined. He simply arrested and jailed criminals. Biden today emphasized the importance of gun control but there were plenty of guns in New York during the 20 years from 1995 to 2015 when crime was on the downward slope. This is what usually happens when politicians talk about crime. They offer more gun control laws but California has enacted many of the laws that Biden talked about but criminal activity is on the rise there as homicides went up 30% in 2020.
