The NYPD made 400 gun arrests last month, up 63.9 percent from February\u00a02020.<\/p>\n<p>Since Commissioner Dermot Shea last summer pulled the plug on the plainclothes anti-crime units that had been central to the NYPD\u2019s anti-gun efforts, the increase in gun busts suggests there\u2019s a lot more guns on the street now. <\/p>\n<p>Yes, the NYPD added 200 cameras and 12 square miles of shot-spotter coverage over the last year to help reduce police response time for shootings. But that\u2019s about catching up after the fact. It plainly isn\u2019t keeping perps from carrying and using their guns. <\/p>\n<p>While the pandemic has ebbed and flowed, the surge in gun violence has been steady \u2014 with both the virus and the violence hitting the same communities hardest. Yet New York\u2019s leaders are silent on the \u201cracial inequity\u201d resulting from higher crime. <\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t expect this grim trend to reverse until  lawmakers and prosecutors accept the folly of everything they\u2019ve done to embolden career criminals.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
