Mayor Steven Fulop is calling for tougher federal gun laws and said the city was reviewing how to improve its active-shooter response after the recent attack here on a Jewish grocery store.
The mayor called on Congress to enact stronger firearms laws to curb out-of-state gun trafficking, noting that law-enforcement officials have said some of the weapons used in the Dec. 10 shootout were obtained in Ohio.
Shootings and homicides have fallen in Jersey City in recent years, but police continue to confiscate about 300 illegal guns a year in the city, hampering efforts to curb violence, Mr. Fulop said.

Take guns away from the citizens but allow the criminals to keep them. Had the grocery own possessed a gun, he could’ve shot the murderer on the spot.
Not “in that area”,but in all areas.
Black anti-semitism (or simply jew hatred) is the elephant in the room that every
The only way to fight illegal guns in the hands of bad people , is with legal guns in the hands of good people.
Spoken like a true Democrat! But the main problem in this instance is the antisemitism among blacks in that area.
Everyone is scared to talk about, or even more since O it was promoted ‘dog whistle’ tactic for political gain.
“But police continue to confiscate about 300 illegal guns a year in the city”
Wait a minute. If the guns are illegal, so how will that help by making it tougher on those that have legal guns? Shouldn’t this typical liberal, with his talking points from MSNBC, concentrate on grabbing the illegal guns from the criminals? Doesn’t he care about blacks in his City being murdered by other blacks using illegal guns???
Well there went the respect I had for him. Mr Mayor, what would your proposal have done to change ANYTHING? I will tell you, the answer is NOTHING!
In fact, your idea would make things even more dangerous because only honest people follow the law.
Typical knee jerk leftist.
