Today, Congressman Jamaal Bowman issued the following statement in response to two incidents of gun violence in Yonkers that happened on Saturday, July 16.
“I was devastated to hear about the five people shot on Saturday night in Yonkers, in two separate incidents within two hours,” said Congressman Jamaal Bowman. People are in the hospital, their lives changed forever, because there are too many guns out on the streets and in our homes. In America, there are 120.5 guns for every 100 citizens. Let’s get it straight – with such a huge quantity of guns present, our families, children, neighbors, friends and loved ones are at risk. We need common sense gun reform now to stop the violence and to keep everybody safe. I will keep doing my part to enact that common sense gun reform in Congress and working with local leaders and community members here in New York to bring an end to gun violence.”
EDITOR'S NOTE:
This press release came out Wednesday afternoon four days after the gun violence took place in Yonkers. We also see that Congressman Bowman who still represents most of the Northern Bronx, is Dumb, Deaf and Blind, to any similar gun violence in the Bronx, that is still the part of his current district.
