Gun control in NYC

I thought guns were basically banned in NYC.
Well in the aptly named area of Brownsville in NYC they had a block party(I am not sure what that is) and 12 people were shot by what appears to be 2 people.
This block party has been going on for years and it looks like it promoted by some of the politicians in the area or at least they glom on to it.

Two ?brazen? lone gunmen opened fire at a massive Brownsville, Brooklyn, block party on Saturday night, leaving a 38-year-old man dead and 11 others injured, law enforcement sources told The Post.
The gunfire erupted just before 11 p.m. as the annual two-day ?Old Timers Day? party was ending and thousands of attendees were leaving, the sources said.
The violence was preliminarily blamed on two shooters who remained at large early Sunday, and who had blasted into the crowd despite a contingent of some 100 cops monitoring the event, the sources said.
?I?ve never heard of 12 people shot in one incident ? ever,? one veteran investigator told The Post of the bloodshed at Mendoza Park at Christopher and Hegeman avenues.

really , with 100 cops standing around also, something sounds strange, makes one wonder if cops were eating/drinking more than watching
