In reply to the discussion: More on "reasonable" gun laws. [View all]spin
(17,493 posts)26. Since the Supremes ruled in favor of gun ownership...
it does appear that those who oppose gun ownership have decided to make legally owning a firearm so expensive and difficult that only fairly rich people with time on their hands will be able to own one.
Why should it be so difficult for an honest person in Washington D.C., Chicago or New Youk City to legally buy a firearm while it is much easier in most areas of our nation? Are the residents of these cities second class citizens?
