I can see you don’t understand Old NYC.

Because in NYC you smile at your enemies. As Mario Puzo wrote the saying, and he didn’t invent it, it was always understood in NYC, “keep your friends close and your enemies closer.”

Elite Daily is headquartered in NYC.

> “In New York City they disarm the decent people SO THAT the indecent people can ROB THEM.. at gun point.”

Again it is quite evident you don’t understand the City.

Yes, it’s awful to disarm people but many people keep illegal guns including persons respectful of the law. That sounds contradictory and it is but it’s how it is in NYC.

The law against guns in NYC is one of many many many draconian laws that go against the grain of the Founders and American principles. To understand why such laws exist, you have to think ‘locally’ and have developed a hatred for criminals that get off time and time again. When that mentally sets in, you support hundreds, even thousands of laws to get the criminal SOB who smiles and smirks at you after they have robbed you, hurt you or poisoned your dog. So the City passes an avalanche of laws not because they think criminals will respect them, but because LEOs will have just about any reason to nab a bad guy. Someone jay walks, someone spits on the sidewalk, someone scowls at a shop owner (initimidates them, disrupts them), any damn law the NYPD can use to take out the bad guy will be used.

Of course this has the consequence of making the streets mean and it also has the consequence of stripping rights away but the alternative is unmitigated urban warfare.

I’ve looked out of my cousin’s window in Soho and witnessed a person fire a gun from a balcony at someone on the street not to hit them but to scare them. Because if the neighborhood is not a tourist path and you are not a known person, your life is at risk by walking into unknown parts as an unknown person.
