Adams told CNN’s Jake Tapper that Democrats’ priorities on gun laws at the federal level are misguided, saying they’ve focused too much on banning assault rifles while they should be focusing more on gun crimes committed with handguns
"It's almost insulting what we have witnessed over the last few years," the New York mayoral nominee said.07/11/2021 12:28 PM EDTNew York City Democratic mayoral nominee Eric Adams said Sunday that national Democrats are focusing on the wrong issue in terms of gun violence.
“I believe those priorities, they really were misplaced,” Adams said. “And it's almost insulting what we have witnessed over the last few years. Many of our presidents, they saw these numbers. They knew that the inner cities, particularly where Black brown and poor people lived, they know — they knew they were dealing with this real crisis.”
He stressed Sunday that Democrats need to increase focus on the trafficking of handguns, “just as we became energetic after we saw mass shootings with assault rifles in the suburban parts of our country.”
