Mayor Eric Adams emphasizes his administration's commitment to public safety by announcing the destruction of over 21,400 illegal firearms seized by the NYPD. During a recent event, confiscated guns were sent to a wood chipper, ensuring they would never pose a danger again. This initiative included collaboration with community leaders and advocates against gun violence. The crushed guns will be recycled into scrap metal, repurposed for a memorial created by students, serving as a poignant reminder of the toll of gun violence, exemplified by victims like Excenia Mette.
