The test for Mayor Eric Adams is whether he can deliver on what he promised New Yorkers who voted for him: curbing the recent spike in shootings in the city while balancing police tactics against the rights of poor minority communities.
Adams has expressed no such anxiety about how to meet the moment. “It is our city against the killers,” he said last Friday night, in Harlem. “This was an attack on the city of New York.” On Monday, he unveiled a “Blueprint to End Gun Violence.” The plan nodded at reform efforts, including violence-interrupter programs, and at the ways in which the city’s crime concerns were connected to its issues properly running schools, providing mental-health services, and addressing homelessness.
The other pipeline that Adams spoke about this week was the “iron” one, a fresh metaphor for talking about New York’s gun problem. New York has strict local and state gun laws, and yet the city is full of guns brought in from other cities and states. “We must stop the flow of illegal guns in our city,” Adams said, announcing the Blueprint. “The iron pipeline must be broken.” Here, Adams called on the federal government to pass “common sense” gun-control measures.
