Let NYC decide how much gun regulation is best for their cityBS.... the 2nd was to help you DEFEND the government as part of a WELL-ORGANIZED MILITIA.\
it was never intended for a bunch of insane yahoos to use it against the gubmint.... if it were, the only criminal act defined in the constitution wouldn't be treason.
and again, even nutty Scalia said that guns could be regulated.... just not totally banned.
you're welcome.
Regulated does not mean "pass laws that on the books allow gun ownership, but in reality make it so impossible no one really tries"
That's what NYC has done with handguns, and why we don't trust assholes like you when all you say you want is "regulation"
NYC has decided what gun regulations work best in their unique environment
It seems to be working
They have had the same law on the books since the 60's.
It didn't work during the 70's 80's and early 90's that's for sure. Correlation is not causation, and during that period you didn't even haven correlation.
And if NYC can, in your opinion, ignore the 2nd amendment by asking for that waiting period and asking for those fees, why can't Alabama put a 1 week wait on abortions and a $100 fee for one?
The gun rights of someone in Wyoming whose closest neighbor is a mile away does not need to apply to NYC who has a population bigger than the State of Wyoming in one square mile
Let Alabama decide how much abortion regulation is best for their State, right?
Again, why can NYC decide to make me wait 3-6 months and pay $600 in fees for a handgun?
Answer the question.
And your wyoming quip would make more sense if long bolt action rifles were the target of this law, but they are not, and they are actually easier to get, but far more dangerous to a person's neighbors.
Why?
Because the overwhelming number of homicides in this country comes from handguns. Handguns and dense populations do not mix.
