So, would the solution be encourging white on white shootings?

This whole equity stuff has me confused.

If a white guy becomes a gang banger is he guilty of cultural appropriation, perpetrating systematic racism by using his white privilege to take jobs from others, or being the social change?

According to Cuomo’s office, the emergency declaration requires the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services to “gather and share incident-level data” from local law enforcement on gun violence and invests almost $140 million in intervention, prevention and jobs programs.

I'll add that Governor Walz (or any MN Governor) cannot do things like this because the Governor is specifically prohibited from taking actions against guns, gun shops, permit holders, and several related topics using emergency powers due to a 2015 bill that we were able to push through a divided legislature (DFL Senate, GOP House) and convince Governor Dayton to sign.

IIRC, this law was passed in response to the gun confiscation shenanigans in New Orleans post Katrina.
