Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard Aborn

Bob talks with Richard Aborn, a lawyer, and the president of the Citizens Crime Commission of New York City. The discussion centers on how a recent Supreme Court ruling, which struck down part of New York's 109-year-old concealed carry law, is forcing some big changes in NYC, and what that will mean for the safety of the everyday New Yorker.

Today, Richard Aborn  is president of the Citizens Crime Commission of New York City, a non-partisan non-profit organization, but in the 90s he was at the helm of the organization that would one day become known as Brady: Handgun Control Inc. His presidency saw vital changes in gun violence prevention — during his time from 1992 to 1996, the Brady Bill, the assault weapons ban, and the large-capacity ammunition magazine ban all passed. In this episode, Richard joins hosts Kelly and JJ to share the critical lessons learned in passing that legislation, what it was like to see the assault weapons ban sunset in 1994, and why reinstating the ban (and getting new legislation passed) is so imperative. Want to get involved?Urge your senators to expand and strengthen background checks.Join a Brady chapter near you and sign up to attend our new volunteer session.Mentioned in this podcast:Battle Over the Brady Bill and the Future of Gun Control Advocacy (DOJ)It's been 20 years since the Brady bill passed.

Richard Aborn - Enforcement of lax gun laws must change. by John Catsimatidis

In this week's installment of Best Of The Gist, and with the tragic news of the mass shooting in Buffalo still echoing through the daily news, we listen back to Mike's March 7, 2018 interview with the president of the Citizens Crime Commission of New York City, Richard Aborn on why gun control has worked for NYC. Then, in Mike's Spiel from this past Monday (May 16, 2022), he acknowledges the complexity of the problem of mass shootings, but floats the idea that guns and tactical gear are the part of the problem we can do something about now.

The Supreme Court is considering a challenge to New York's strict concealed-carry law that's primed to set a precedent which could shape the future of guns in the U.S. Gun-rights supporters want the court in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen to bless more permissive public carry. Gun control advocates worry about the implications of doing so. Cases and Controversies podcast hosts Kimberly Robinson and Jordan Rubin have spent months reporting on Bruen. And in this special edition, they explore the Nov. 3 argument and the signals the justices sent. This episode takes listeners into the courtroom and breaks down essential points. Attorneys, scholars, and others working on the case talk about what's at stake if the challengers prevail, as expected. First, a primer. Previous 5-4 rulings said the Second Amendment grants an individual right to have a gun in the home for self-defense, regardless of militia service. The amendment says, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Bruen raises the question of the scope of the right outside the home. At the argument, the justices probed the limits of their eventual ruling expected by July. "Can they say you cannot carry your gun at any place where alcohol is served?" Chief Justice John Roberts asked the challengers' lawyer, Paul Clement. "What about a football stadium?" Roberts pressed. While gun-rights advocates see fewer restrictions as vindicating the Second Amendment, gun control advocates worry about the consequences of more guns on the street. "If we were to now flood our cities with even more guns, I'm afraid that shooting rate will go up, that murder rate will go up, and we don't know what will happen to the everyday fights that take place in densely populated cities like New York if people are armed," said Richard Aborn, president of the Citizens Crime Commission of New York City. Everytown for Gun Safety, which advocates for universal background checks and gun-safety measures, is backed by Michael Bloomberg, founder and majority owner of Bloomberg News parent company Bloomberg LP. The group filed a brief at the Supreme Court supporting the New York restrictions.
