Big City Boy says, “In the big city land of driveby killings, it’s not quite so simple as everyone having their own weapons to defend themselves.”

How do you know this when it is manifestly obvious that the current level of gun control laws is not working, to say the least? It’s depressing that that you can’t see irony in the amount of gun violence in big cities and the difficulty that law abiding citizens have in acquiring weapons in these cities compared that to areas where less gun control is enforced. You seem to believe that city living has some controlling element here. What does living in the city have to do with it? Do you think citizens who acquire gins legally are going to start regularly firing shots randomly out the window at passing cars? You have a very low level of faith in your fellow citizens.

Sigh. What’s the use? I’ve made this argument a thousand times.
