The free citizens who are guaranteed the right to arm themselves make
that decision for themselves. Probably sounds wacko in today's
society, but I'd say let the people who want to own firearms do so and
let those who don't want them not own them.

Never been to NYC, probably never will unless it's to visit some of
the things you simply can't see elsewhere. Based on my experience
with quite a few people from NYC (and the tales I've heard from my
wife, who lived in CT for 10 years) I think I can do without it.
I'm sure there are some decent people there, though. Statistically,
in a city of millions of people, there would almost have to be.
