Freedoms can be limited by safety. Let me see, if I can prove that majority of the gun violence is committed by blacks in my city, can I limit their rights to buy guns??? Of course the ACLU would argue that such laws would violate the Civil Rights of minorities, but if one Bill of Rights can be limited due to safety, why not the other rights listed in the Bill of Rights???

Justice Breyer seemingly expressed the view that the right to keep and bear arms was subject to “reasonable” regulation, and that in a city with high crime rates, a ban on handguns would be reasonable.

To my thinking such a statement is counter intuitive.

A city with high crime rates carrying a handgun is not only logical it is mandatory.

A city with high crime rates is analogous to the settlers living on the frontier in the days of the founders. They had only themselves to depend on for protection from wild animals and unfriendly Indians.

In big cities with high crime rates help is at least 5 minutes away and more likely much longer. I that time the crime is more likely committed and the criminal long gone and the victim is quite possibly dead.

High crime rates equal high gun ownership.

Only in a lawful society can you afford to take the chance to be unarmed.
