New York City is historically considered a [[liberal]] city, with the majority of the population voting Democrat. However, the mayor has recently been [[Republican]], in the case of [[Rudy Giuliani]] or independent in the case of the [[liberal]] [[Michael Bloomberg]]. In November 2013, liberal Democrat Bill de Blasio was elected mayor and despite his anti-law enforcement rhetoric and liberal socialistic policies, was re-elected in November, 2017. [[Fox News Channel]] is based there in Manhattan. Of the 13 congressional districts that include parts of New York City, only one is represented by a Republican (Daniel M. Donovan, Jr. of [[Staten Island]]).

New York City has strict [[gun control]] laws and although non-lethal self defense sprays are sold in some pharmacies and sporting goods stores in the city since these sprays weren't legal for civilians in the state until 1996, different answers are given to callers at different police precincts in the city as to whether or not civilians can actually carry and have them for their own protection.
