I can't
Because you are unwilling to suffer any inconvenience in your desire to build an arsenal. Our children pay the price....but at least nobody restricts your access to a Bushmaster
What arsenal? Right now if i want to get a single handgun in NYC i have to pay over $400 in fees, get licensed, and pass the review of the NYPD above and beyond just needing a clean record and no mental health issues. it takes MONTHS. and that is just to own a handgun in the house. To get a CCW I have to plead my case or be connected to someone powerful somehow. They can deny it for any reason, including "we don't want you to have one"
Repeal crap like that, and maybe I would trust gun controllers with things like bigger background checks. Until then its just the first step in denying me my rights.
And NYC is seeing its murder rate at historically low levels
NYC ALWAYS had those gun rules in place since the 70's. Thus their impact cannot be attributed to the crime drop. The change in crime was due to aggressive policing, which is being reduced under DiBlasio. But since it was a Republican who did that, it must obviously be ignored.
