Guns are durable goods.

Which is why Gun Control is a pipe dream at best.

An NYPD officer was fatally shot during a Monday car stop in Queens, Mayor Adams said, calling the incident “a senseless act of violence.”

“We lost one of our sons today, and it is extremely painful,” Adams said at a press conference. “It’s extremely painful.”

Uniformed Officer Jonathan Diller and his partner pulled Lindy Jones, 41, and Guy Rivera, 34, over near the corner of Mott Ave. and Smith Place in Far Rockaway just before 5:50 p.m., cops and sources said.

The men were in a gray Kia SUV and were illegally parked in a bus stop, according to police.

“[Rivera] was asked to leave the car,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said at the news conference. “He was given a lawful order numerous times to step out of the car, and he refused. Instead of stepping out of the car, he shot our officer.”

Diller, 31, was shot in the torso underneath his bullet-resistant vest, but “still stayed in the fight,” Kenny said.

The gun was recovered.

Bryco has been out of business for 20 years, but the guns are still out there. And those too young will not remember the outcry and teeth gnashing when the term Saturday Night Special was created and guns like Bryco, Jennings, and Raven were stamped with that title to make them "evil."

They sued Bryco out of existence after typecasting it as evildoers and merchants of death, a strategy Gun Control swore would end "Gun Deaths" and violent crime in general.

It failed spectacularly and deadly.
