"Guns, you have to figure that his thinking on what is right for the country versus what is necessary for NY city would have to be somewhat different."

So Rootie thinks the 2nd Amendment doesn't cover NYC?

So Rootie thinks the 2nd Amendment doesn't cover NYC?

It doesn't at the present time.

Until the Supreme Court says that the 2nd amendment also applies to state and local governments, and is not just a restriction on the federal government, then it doesn't apply to actions by the NYC authorities.

That's just the plain legal reality of the situation, and criticising reality is important, but has limited value.
