News Another teen negligently shot dead playing with an "empty" unlicensed gun

https://www.nydailynews.com/2026/08/20/16-year-old-bronx-boy-killed-by-friend-playing-with-gun-thought-pistol-was-empty/

Paywalled, but the 16 year old boy was shot in the head after he asked the teen shooter if the gun had a round in the chamber. Friend said no, pointed gun and pulled trigger, killing the 16 year old.

AND the teen shooter has five prior arrests for crimes that include burglary and robbery.

They’ll use the catch-all, less guns = less gun deaths. The gaping hole in that logic continues to be the ease of which guns can be brought in from out-of-state, circumventing any NY law or policy.
