As far as we've come in fighting illegal guns, the fact is that gun violence remains a serious problem in #NYC: http://t.co/UMLtLBjCqX

To him, the many examples of people being kept safe as a result of being able to own guns don’t matter.

Bull MT @MikeBloomberg: Our success in fighting illegal guns means #NYC's firearms fatality rate is half the rate in the rest of the nation
