New York City has some of the most restrictive gun control laws in the country, at least if you’re an adult. Caught carrying a gun without a license? If you’re over 18, you could be looking at a mandatory prison sentence. If you’re a juvenile, on the other hand, the chances are you’ll get off with a slap on the wrist and a quick visit to juvenile detention.

Take the case of Brandon Perez. The 15-year old is now charged with fatally stabbing 17-year old Ethan Borges in mid-September, but as Borges’ family has detailed, Perez was already on the radar of local law enforcement and the courts thanks to several recent incidents.

Brandon Perez had racked up four arrests — including two for possession of a loaded gun — in the course of 10 months before he was nabbed Saturday in the Sept. 17 murder of Ethan Borges.
The slain teen’s uncle said Perez, 15, shouldn’t have been out in the first place.
“If you don’t lock this kid up — who you know is a dirtbag and has no respect for you or the law or anyone — he’s going to be back out in the street before you’re finished fingerprinting him,” Michael Petry told The Post.
Perez has a grand larceny arrest from November and a gun possession case in December — both in the Bronx, sources said.
His second most recent bust was on Sept. 4 for second-degree criminal possession of a weapon in Manhattan.
And he has a sealed arrest for grand larceny, sources said.
The accused killer is being prosecuted as a juvenile in his older cases, which are being handled in Family Court, according to sources and court officials.
 
In an ideal world the consequence would be a spanking and a stern talking to by the kid's father. Instead we're going to do this backwards: the government will get involved and the unknown father hasn't been involved since before the kid was born.
 
It is starting to resemble most of Latin America, where kids kill people and walk away because they are under age.
Youth gangs are everywhere, it is not new or unique. The issue here is not racial or cultural- it is pure economics. You make a ghetto- you get gangs. One cannot go without the other.
 
Classic "bleeding heart" syndrome at work. All those ACLU lawyers, all those "youth advocates", all those racial and social justice warriors with the familiar cries of "he was only a boy... he was poor... he had (fill-in-the-blank) syndrome... victim of systemic racism". Here in MA the bleeding hearts have successfully conned the powers that be (legislature, judges) into believing that teenagers' brains "aren't fully developed" so they can't be held accountable for their actions. Philip Chism, Danvers teen who raped, murdered and disposed of teacher Colleen Ritzer in a dumpster will probably be eligible for parole sooner rather than later.
That is a lot of crap as far as I am concerned. if you are dangerous at 14, you will probably be twice as dangerous when you're 21 so lock them up until it is safe to release them, or don't release them at all. What happened to "life without parole", which was supposed to be a substitute for the death penalty?
Finally, the article referenced by MikeyP hits the nail on the head with regard to "gun control". Instead of acknowledging that these little criminals come from scumbag families with no discipline or parental involvement other than demanding free housing and welfare checks, politicians blame "the guns". So easy to do yet so absolutely useless!

I hear it's all fun and games in Rio until some paramilitary death squad
decides to sweep your favela and punches back twice as hard.

That's no way to run a railroad, but...

Lol. Rio is such a sh*thole, and I was there when it was clean for the Olympics. I wouldn't think about going there today.

No, that's a massive misconception that poverty causes crime. Crime can create poverty, but poverty itself alone does not create crime. There are plenty of parts of the world and even this country, which are dirt poor and not gang filled shitholes. Morality and culture matter.

How are the gun laws relevant in the case of a stabbing ???

They already nailed one of their NY Super Bowl football superheroes years ago. Plaxico Burriss. 2.5 years for illegal possession of a .40 caliber Glock handgun. He did the Canned Heat song. He went ""up the country" to a prison in Oneida.
