Just Say No … To New Year’s Eve Gun Slinging

New York City’s murder rate is the lowest it’s ever been (there’ve been only 461 homicides so far this year) — and we’d like to keep it that way. So this year we suggest that revelers follow the sage advice given this week in Miami and don’t aim their guns up in the air and fire them off at midnight tonight! In Detroit, a gun shop owner suspended ammo sales to cut down on celebratory gun shooting, and more than 1,000 Baltimore cops will flood that city looking for midnight gunslingers celebrating by unloading their weapons in the air. Stray bullets can kill, and getting hit by one sure ain’t the best way to ring in the new year. Try popping some bubbly instead.
