NYC Subway Slashers, Have No Fear: Bill de Blasio is Here!
Paging Bernhard Goetz…Bernhard Goetz, you have a call from 1984 on Line 1…
Thirty-seven years ago, a man named Bernhard Goetz was assaulted by multiple assailants on the New York City subway; when he shot them with his (illegal per NYC’s gun laws) concealed firearm, it ignited a furious nationwide discussion about just how badly the Rotten Apple infringes on its citizens’ Second Amendment rights. Last Friday it became 1984 all over again with a slashing spree on the New York City subway involving multiple victims. Unlike 1984, none of them were armed or able to defend themselves. What’s more, nobody could be happier about this than Bill de Blasio, the NYC mayor who makes Mike Bloomberg look like the king of law and order. The Citizen’s Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that NYC is the future of gun rights in America if the anti-gunners get their way.
“We know at least three people were violently attacked by several people,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “Fortunately, nobody was killed, but this is a symptom of a larger problem in New York City, which is the perpetuation of a system that is designed to prevent average citizens from being able to resist such brutality.”
Reports say police have rounded up some suspects, but there are few details. But Gottlieb suggested such attacks wouldn’t happen if dangerous thugs weren’t confident they would meet no resistance from their victims.
“The mere thought that somebody might be able to fight back with a legally-carried firearm can have a serious deterrent effect,” Gottlieb said. “Attacking and slashing people at random is barbaric, but under Mayor Bill de Blasio’s anti-gun regime, felony assaults have reportedly gone up 25 percent over last year.
“New Yorkers should not be living in fear of such crime,” he observed. “It’s not enough for the mayor or some police official promise things will get better with more officers assigned to provide security. People who do this sort of thing don’t do it when there’s a cop standing nearby, but only when they think nobody is there to stop them.
“When something like this happens, only an armed citizen can immediately and effectively fight back,” Gottlieb stated. “In New York City, thanks to antiquated, ridiculously restrictive gun laws, that’s not an option. Common sense dictates the necessity for a dramatic change of policy. New York must reform its carry laws and streamline the process for getting a carry license. No law-abiding citizen should be expected to jump through all the bureaucratic hoops now in place, or endure the costs associated with getting a carry permit in the Big Apple. This sort of crime should never happen anywhere, especially in a country where the right to keep and bear arms is supposed to be sacrosanct.”
I’m beginning to think it is time for us all to stand up for our rights with the items allowed.
SOSO.The NYC Transit Police,while armed,are a bad farce.They run away from the vermin,while the rest of us are in peril.
Twas that way 60 years ago and has only gotten worse
just take out the commies running the state and the city. then you can defend yourself from this attempted murder. stop being a victim.
Isn’t this the same Mayor that recently cut the police department’s budget by a BILLION dollars ? If New Yorkers don’t get rid of him and ALL of his syncophants , I have no sympathy for them at all !
Hey,, you GET what you VOTE for….
Actually, Peter, you are wrong. Here is what is on the NYPD website:
Weapons, dangerous instruments, or any other items intended for use as a weapon may not be carried anywhere within the NYC Transit System.
Don’t believe me? It is under the question “Can I carry a knife in the NYC Transit System?” Check it for yourself… or do facts bother you?

Good thing criminals follow the law. Time for a re-think, amigo.
lol. Right. That’s why criminals are called criminals. You really think they give a damn what the law says???
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.—Ben Franklin.
Some of what he does and says is so far off the wall I’m beginning to wonder if DeBlasio is actually sane.
Beginning?
DeBlasio is following the demokraut play book to the letter. The Second Amendment is what defends Americans from infringement of all the others in the Bill of Rights. Once we are disarmed, there will be nothing to stop the dems from ruling in perpetuity. If you think we have it bad now, just wait…
Isn’t that part of why we are in this situation; we’ve been ‘just waiting.’ Maybe we shouldn’t wait to see how much worse it gets. The Dumorcrats* are trying to turn our whole Republic into CA & NY. I am to blame; I’ve watched my state (CO) degrade, almost, exponentially in less than 10 years: Denver County is a bastion of left wing restriction: I have done nothing; except vote. I, being a law abiding citizen, have followed the laws even as they become more & more restrictive. The only other thing I’ve done is live in other counties.
*I like “demokraut;” sometimes it seems like our country has more in common with Germany in the 1930s that it does with the U.S. from that same period
Every single gun control law that exists, on any level of government, and for any reason whatsoever, is in direct contradiction of the Constitution of the United States, and they all need to be removed. Now.
EXACTLY!!!
you sir are absolutely correct, but that won’t matter to the lemmings.
“We know at least three people were violently attacked by several people,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “Fortunately, nobody was killed, but this is a symptom of a larger problem in New York City, which is the perpetuation of a system that is designed to prevent average citizens from being able to resist such brutality.”
Even worse than that, Mr. Gottlieb, is the virtually certain reality that, even if citizens were allowed to carry, the system in NYC is so a$$ backwards that anyone who dared to defend himself would end up being the one charged with a crime, and then be sued by the actual perpetrator..
Lawrence, your statement is true. Let me just add this to the list of truths I’ve seen here regarding the story, “ it is better to be judged by 12 rather than carried by 6 “.
How long is it going to take these dumb people to wake up and pull their heads out of their rectums?? Criminals have nothing to fear knowing law abiding citizens are not armed.
You’re absolutely correct. It never fails to amaze me why stupid people congregate to the larger cities and then to turn them into cesspools. Is it the water that turns them into raving lunatics?
Good question, Mike! But, you gotta remember, these are the same people who foisted AOC and her Green New Deal on US, and who care not that gasoline is $7.00 per gallon? “Why should I care? I don’t have a car!” NYC residents… the text book definition of “Sheeple”…
You have to remember? They want caos. When they have caos, the people over look a lot of there idiotic laws to give them more money and control.
‘Caos’? Is that a city in Egypt?
Gottlieb is 100% correct. Crime rates tend to be lower in places where there is a “Shall Issue” doctrine than where there is a “May Issue” in place. NYC is even worse than that. Except for police less than one percent of people are armed and I doubt they ride the subway. The chance that an attacker will encounter resistance in NYC is very, very low and the crime rate is very, very high. Take a place like Arizona that has the most 2nd amendment friendly laws and the crime rate is low. Where I live there are few random assaults as would be attackers know that anyone could be carrying a weapon. The right to keep and bear arms does save lives. It has kept foreign invaders from landing troops. It so far has kept a would be tyrannical government in check and in places where restriction aren’t in places has caused criminals to think twice before attacking someone.
Well said..
You too can carry a knife to defend yourself.
And another one!!!!
Who carries a knife to gun fight? Come on man,use some common sense..Criminals can get firearms with no problems. They can make the so called ghost guns,that can’t be traced. Or get firearms from the black market,Mafia organizations and or overseas. It’s too easy for them to attain any firearm and ammo they want at anytime..
Ghost guns? You have been gaslighted.
When men make sheep of themselves the wolves will eat you – Benjamin Franklin.
Any one who think ghost guns are a real thing is stupid. We have always had the right to make a firearm at home. We have always had the right to carry and use any means of self defense.
New Yorkers just haven’t used the three boxes out founding fathers set up to keep ourselves free.
1-Voter box
2-Jury box (yes juries can strike down unjust laws)
3-Cartridge Box
Soon, Diblabio will be citing illegal knives flowing in from other states are to blame, and will be banning them as well.
His idiotology (yes, spelled correctly) has demonstrated just how far out of touch he is.
Some believe that hunting in a preserve which is stocked with animals for the hunt is not hunting at all. But given the NYC Subway system, especially during peak hours, the individual cars are stocked with riders for the hunters and with no one capable of protecting themselves they are ripe for the hunt by crazy people who are armed. Thank you Mayor de Blasio for creating a situation where your citizens are at risk just moving from place to place. The lack of Law Enforcement and the citizens right to defend themselves in NYC is a plague upon the city.
What was said still applies now MORE THAN EVER, now that we have a “one party rule” COMMUNIST “government ” in place that would LOVE to see ALL guns BANNED, so THEIR criminal friends could go on robbing , raping , and murdering with no threat of being stopped by an ARMED law-abiding citizen.
NEVER GIVE UP YOUR GUNS! They are they ONLY defense against this TYRANNICAL “government” we have in power today!!
