But other than that, it's basic common sense.

"Commitment to SNUG" will "put a stop to that deadly trend"? Really? How? I mean aside from coming up with an insipid, meaningless acronym?
This initiative developed is modeled after the highly successful Cease Fire Gun Violence Prevention Model currently used in Chicago.

Chicago? That wouldn't be "gun-free" murder capital Chicago, would it?

I guess New Yorkers are about to find out what Malcolm Smith and Kathleen Tice mean by "highly successful."
