VIVIANA ÁVILA, CORRESPONDENT, UNIVISION: During the application of “stop-and-frisk” in New York, the level of violence dropped to the same level as other cities in the country, but also statistics from authorities in New York indicate that less than one percent of those detained carried firearms. The practice was declared unconstitutional in the Big Apple in 2013 for attacking minorities.

UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Because, how are you going to detain people only because you’re going to check them? Right? Greater measures are needed for greater gun control.
