Let me guess. New York City needs more gun control laws. The—what is it now?—$250 permit application? The six to nine month waiting period, the bring each gun in and register it off the serial number on the handle requirement, the three month waiting period between guns, the mandatory membership in a range for target licenses, and carry it around in a locked box. The special long gun permit required nowhere else in NY City.-—These all aren’t enough. What is it this time? Spread the love to all 50 states? Did they find another model of gun that looks scary if you shine the light on it this way, and therefore they want it banned? How much is enough for these yoyos?
Here in Israel, we have a few strictly enforced gun laws, and when I see a big black man walking down the street with an Uzi strapped across his back, I nod hello and he nods back, same as I would the scrawny 20-year-old kid with the acne and the M-16. Can any New York resident say the same?
I'd feel completely safe in such a community. On the other hand, if I were in Chitcago or one of the other gun grabbing utopias where firearms are banned, or might as well be, I'd feel the need to buy an armored transport.
