Though Times Square has been declared a gun-free zone since the beginning of September, city lawmakers went one step further on Wednesday, specifically defining the area in which a person can’t carry a weapon.

The move comes after the Supreme Court struck down the state’s tough law that made it virtually impossible for most New Yorkers to carry a handgun in public.

The new zone stretches from West 40th Street to West 53rd Street and Sixth Avenue to Ninth Avenue, including the Port Authority bus terminal.

Not all councilmembers voted in favor of the legislation citing that it fails to properly address gun violence.

“The people who are doing the crime in the city, the people who are killing each other, are not the guys with licenses,” said Brooklyn Councilman Kalman Yeger at Wednesday’s meeting.

Yeger went onto echo sentiments by critics that because of Times Square’s significance as a tourist hotspot it is getting preference over other areas in the city.

“It would be great if this Council were not declaring one part of our city more important to protect, as the gentleman spoke earlier, than every other neighborhood in our city,” Yeger added.

Separately, female political leaders applauded their new majority on the council. Currently, women hold 31 out of 51 seats with the Speaker also being a woman of color.

The women lawmakers were joined by the organization ‘21 in ‘21, who played a significant role in getting more women to run for office. The group on Wednesday rebranded itself as The New Majority NYC in honor of their historic accomplishments.

“A historic 31 seats in the City Council, allowing women to achieve the representation in city government that we’ve always strived for and that we deserve,” said City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams.

The group and lawmakers say they have made gains that are much more significant in the wake of the Supreme Court striking down Roe v. Wade that established a constitutional right to abortion.

“Most importantly, we are prioritizing the issues impacting women, families, communities that have gone unaddressed for far too long,” added Speaker Adams.

The lawmakers stressed their majority is a sign of political capital they want to continue to grow and maintain in the coming years.
