Adams, a cop in 1990, justified his statement to FOX 5 that he has "never witnessed crime at this level" by pointing to the prevalence of illegal guns. The NYPD has confiscated 2,600 guns this year. In 1990, police seized 17,575 illegal guns.

The NYPD has only publicly released stats on NST gun arrests: 26 as of April 5. The most frequent arrest made by the units is for criminal possession of a forged instrument, such as a fake ID. The fourth-most frequent charge is a traffic offense: driving with a suspended license.

School officials or family could've also asked for an ERPO. But law enforcement (should have) the motivation & resources to do so. Ie. in Suffolk County, where the most Red Flag ERPOs have been granted of any NY county by far, LE requested all but 2 since the law went into effect
