Word of advice to the city fathers. The criminals will still have guns. The law abiding citizens will be defenseless.
That’s a Feature, not a Bug.
Helpless people are dependent on the mercy of the state.
That is th point of it. According to noted Soviets the criminal class are social allies of the Communists and likeminded totalitarian rulers. The criminals keep the citizens off balance and fearful. Allowing the citizenry to defend themselves is counterproductive.
The pols never have an answer for that one. Any more than order the suppliers to make the Gun Free Zone signs with larger fonts.
But quick release of the charged arrestees, prison release due to overcrowding and now to Covid and finally fewer police plus police legally inhibited from arresting and holding the physically resisting criminals firmly due to threats of review boards and riots----all that doesn't contribute to more shootings? Not much./S
