[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2617025, member: 313"] All you have to do is look here at NYS. We emptied the jails because of covid and ended cash bail a few years ago. The crime is out-of-control in NYC. Virtually every gun related shooting is perpetrated by a felon with a long rap sheet. Many felons have committed crimes and been arrested several times and haven't even gone to court on the initial offenses. Some rob the same stores that they did just prior to release. Violent crimes are up 36% in just the last year and they were already at alarming rates. Catch & release is crushing the city and its economy, nobody wants to go back. Covid has subsided but mass transit is still at 50% of pre-pandemic rates. Even the new NYC Mayor, Adams, who ran on a law & order platform, can't get any cooperation from Albany Democrats. He went there to amend the no cash bail law and to seek help with the crime wave. They sent him back to the city with his tail between his legs. Mayor Adams and his administration have totally failed the residents of NY. He promised two things, safe streets and a clean city. They provided neither. People are rightfully afraid. And Gov Hochul has declared (begining Sept 1st 2022) 90% of the state to be a "sensitive area" where law-abiding, licensed gun owners can not possess a handgun. The state of Illinois must be aware of all of this. To follow NY's lead on this issue is unthinkable. [/QUOTE]
