How Would the Mayoral Candidates Get Guns Off New York Streets?

Three more mayoral candidates highlighted fresh plans to address a recent spate of shootings that has overtaken the contest just six weeks before the primary.

One mayoral candidate, Kathryn Garcia, said that she would let New Yorkers trade in guns for $2,000 in cash. Another, Shaun Donovan, said he would demand the city’s five district attorneys fast-track gun cases. A third, Maya Wiley, considered one of the more left-leaning candidates in the race, stuck to her message, pledging to appoint a civilian police commissioner.
