Two different arguments. The way NYC stifles the Second sickens me and is why I can’t wait to leave here. But if you’re defending convicted felons from carrying guns for the sole reason of committing crime then it’s a whole other issue.
“Two different arguments” - and YOU started the second one.
No one is “defending convicted felons from carrying guns for the sole reason of committing crime”.
That is a straw man argument that you made up.
The issue is law abiding people who wish to be able to defend themselves from the criminals. They are subject to arrest under NY’s draconian gun ban laws simply for having the bad luck to be “Stopped [Questioned] and Frisked”.
If you think convicted felons are the only people being stopped and frisked then you live in a fantasy world.
