On June 23, 2000 Rudy Giuliani justifies the gun industry lawsuit to a concerned citizen.
Giuliani claims that gun manufacturers overproduce firearms. Giuliani claims that most police officers are in favor of gun control. Giuliani claims that gun control reduced New York City crime. Giuliani blames the rest of the country for having lax gun laws which let people buy guns elsewhere and bring them into the city.
My take on crime reduction in New York City is different. I credit an expansion of policing. In 1993, there were 29,327 police officers and in 2001, there were 39,067 police officers.
