re: #255 Jay C

Geez, GunGirl is an imbecile!

1. If NYC is so “smelly” and dirty, WTH does she keep coming here? Looking for work (good luck with that!) ?

2. Nobody in NY “confiscates guns” any more than they absolutely have to (like when they catch criminals with them)? We do take our permit/legal-possession rules a bit more seriously than say, West Armpit, IN, but if that pisses Kaitlin off, there is plenty of transportation out of town…

3. “Smelly NYC”?? I moved to the Big Apple in 1977 (probably before Kaitlin’s parents were born) - if she thinks the City is grubby now, she should have been here in the Summer of Sam - especially in the Times Square area where she’s posing….

Aren’t her 15 minutes up yet?

So let’s take a rough count of how many licensed, fully-legal firearms there may be in NYC.

NYPD — 35,000 officers. That’s an army.
FBI — a few thousand
consulates all have their own armed security
There’s professional full-time armed security at every office building, bank, department store, jewelry store, hotel.
There’s a licensed weapon under the counter at every bodega and/or liquor store and most of the delis (and probably 1/4 of the food carts).
There’s a licensed weapon in the glove compartment of each of the 20,000 cabs and livery cars (and probably a high percentage of the Uber and Lyft vehicles)
Hundreds of thousands in people’s homes.

Before we got serious about gun control (early 90’s), there used to be more than 2,000 homicides in NYC every year. Now… it’s less than 400.
