Huh? How does protecting the 2nd amendment prevent cities from dealing with gun crime? They can still arrest people with illegal guns and put people in jail that commit crimes with guns. I don't see how this renders them helpless.
That is exactly right. When some gangstas shoot it out or hose down someone’s house with illegal guns, either shoot them or arrest them. When someone robs a business at gunpoint, either shoot him or arrest him. Throw the live ones in prison for a long time. If they would just follow these simple laws, pretty soon the problems would be greatly reduced. It is NOT the fault of law-abiding gun owners that crime continues to be a problem.
