New York Subway Attack Underscores the Failure of ‘Sensitive Places’ Gun Bans

The article argues that the April 11 machete attack at New York's Grand Central subway station highlights the failure of the state's "sensitive places" gun bans, specifically the Concealed Carry Improvement Act (CCIA). It contends that these laws disarm law-abiding citizens in vulnerable public spaces like subways, creating "victim zones" where only criminals are armed, and police response comes after the violence has started.
