Gun buyback programs in New York and Illinois successfully remove thousands of firearms from streets.

New York's Attorney General Letitia James' one-day gun buyback program on Saturday brought in 3,067 firearms, including a record 751 guns in Syracuse alone. Meanwhile, Mayor Eric Adams has presided over three weddings at Gracie Mansion, and chess master Jerald Times is suing the Success Academy charter school network for $64 million, saying he was fired for speaking out against discrimination toward Black teachers. Additionally, schedules obtained by the Wall Street Journal show that current CIA Director William Burns met with Jeffrey Epstein at least twice back in 2014, when Burns was the Deputy U.S. Secretary of State and Epstein was a convicted sex offender.
