New York Daily News reports:

"The mayor said 24 people shot in 24 hours in the city 'is just unconscionable.'

'We cannot tolerate it,' Bloomberg said while speaking at the Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn. “There are just too many guns on the streets and we have to do something about it.

"New York has the toughest gun laws in the country, but Bloomberg said the city alone cannot stop the onslaught of shootings. 'We need the federal government to step up,' he said.
