Actually, that's not true. NYC is a great example. They've got extremely
strick
gun laws and violent crime is way down. Turns out California also has strict
laws and mostly won't be affected very by the Federal ban being lifted,
although
it is possible that guns of this type may be smuggled in from Nevada and
other
less restrictive states.

Mr. Poodle is clearly the ignorant one. He thinks that it's ok to put
more guns on the streets.

It's not only OK, it is better to have more guns on the streets so long as
they are in the hands of competent law abiding citizens. Cities and states
with the most restrictive anti-gun laws have the worst crime rates and
vice
versa. Meanwhile, states that passed versions of the Florida law allowing
concealed carry saw a drop in crime.

Remember, if there had been one armed person on each highjacked plane,
9/11
could never have happened and police would still have to get warrants to
search our homes.

Yes, down from once being the crime capital of the country, but it is still
far more dangerous than, say, Fredricksburg Va where nearly half the
residents have permits to carry or that good old southern town that requires
residents to own guns.
