State Senator Robert Jackson and Assemblymember Manny De Los Santos—who both represent Washington Heights, Inwood, and Marble Hill—told thethat getting guns off the street is crucial in their district. The lawmakers mentioned a Father’s Day shooting in Inwood that killed two people and injured another as a recent incident; police arrested and charged a 16-year-old for two counts of second-degree murder.
While buyback programs do work, Bragg said there are also other ways to tackle gun violence. He pointed to recently prompting YouTube to remove and/or age-restrict content that encourages firearm use. The video-sharing platform implemented those recommendations, which went into effect on June 18.
