Given the population density in New York City, there is a much greater chance that in addition to one dead creep, you would also have a lot of innocent people [??!] killed or wounded in the line of fire.

Your basis for stating this is what? the record of civilians shooting in self defense is much better than police officers when it comes to innocents being caught in the line of fire.

I heard a report that when the troops in Iraq learned that 5,000 Alabama boys were called up to join them, they were quite pleased. Their reasoning: these boys had been shooting and hunting since they were old enough to hold a rifle (insert shoot eye of a gnat stats here). Many people who own guns legally are quite proficient with them.
