New York City Mayor Eric Adams signed legislation Tuesday establishing how the city will make Times Square a gun-free zone even as the state law underpinning the policy was overturned in federal court. Rather, he and other city leaders said it is untenable to have so many guns in a place as densely packed as Times Square. "It is plain good old common sense that no one should have a gun in Times Square," said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who joined the mayor for the bill signing. The law defines the boundaries of the Times Square sensitive location and authorizes the NYPD to implement it.
