Rochester residents and law enforcement officials are sounding the alarm as a new report reveals a disturbing trend: a growing number of crime guns in the city are originating from New York State. According to the report, the majority of these guns are coming from outside of Monroe County, with a significant portion tracing back to neighboring cities and towns. This development raises concerns about the effectiveness of current gun control laws and the need for more robust measures to prevent the proliferation of firearms in the community. As the city continues to grapple with high rates of gun violence, officials will be scrutinizing the report's findings to inform their strategies for addressing the root causes of this issue.
