40 shot in NYC last weekend thanks to draconian gun control laws and law-abiding CCW holders, but mostly draconian gun control laws

I'm still waiting for the day when liberals -- en masse -- denounce their own long list of policy failures, from banning DDT to "Great Society". Foremost among their inane prescriptions: "gun control":

An outbreak of shootings across New York City over Labor Day weekend – including three at the annual West Indian Day parade in Brooklyn – has left more than 40 people injured and five dead.

The first shooting took place at 6 a.m. Saturday, when a 35-year-old woman was shot and wounded on the corner of Saratoga Ave. and Newport St. in Brooklyn. During the next 24 hours, 23 more people were shot in 13 separate incidents, according to the New York Daily News.

Eight people were shot at a backyard party in the Bronx neighborhood of Williamsbridge on Sunday around 3:30 a.m, the New York Times reports. The wounded included an 11-year-old boy and two girls, ages 13 and 14. Police suspected a 17-year-old was the shooter, and they were looking for him.

Four men were shot at a barbecue in Brooklyn’s East Flatbush neighborhood early Monday morning, NBC News reports. One of the victims, 17-year-old Tyrief Gary, died.

But... but... but... handguns are banned in New York City! How can this be?

For you drones out there: that's a rhetorical question. Pick up a copy of More Guns, Less Crime to find out why.
