Local pols advocate for gun control in Coney
The gun violence that has recently plagued the Coney Island community has got to end.
That was the message as Councilmember Mark Treyger held a press conference on Monday, June 29 at the Coney Island Houses to call on City Hall and the NYPD to take action to stop the scourge of shootings.
“The city’s response to gun violence impacting Coney Island and other parts of the city will ultimately be judged a success only through a significant drop in shooting incidents, the reopening of community centers damaged by Sandy and the commitment of greater resources to the West End of Coney Island,” Treyger said. “Residents are tired of hearing about historical trends and need tangible action and results.”
