Hello everyone,Nelson here and I am new to this forum.Regarding NY/NYC let me say that NY/NYC is a joke,so much "Gun Control" yet crime in NY/NYC is worse than ever.I was born and raised in NYC and I left because NYC is totally out of control.I now live in PA and I have never felt safer in my life than I do now."Gun Control" has not worked and will never work for the simple fact that the criminals don't care to abide by/respect the law,when I lived in NYC I was robbed at gunpoint three times,the people that robbed me passed right by me and even had the nerve to greet me right before they grabbed me from behind with their guns to rob me and it is only by God's good grace and mercy that I am alive today to tell you this.How do I know that it was the people that had just passed me and even had the nerve to greet me right before they grabbed me from behind at gunpoint to rob me?Well when the criminals took off after they robbed me I turned to try to get a description to give to the police.I saw drug dealers in NYC and what the drug dealers do is that they hide their drugs under the tires of one car and hide their guns under the next car up from that,I have witnessed that.I myself called the police to report that and what the police told me was that they could do nothing unless they caught the drug dealers with the drugs on them,the police also told me that I would have to swear an affidavit and be a witness if they did decide to arrest those drug dealers,so the police couldn't arrest those drug dealers and take the drugs and the guns from under the cars where the drug dealers had hidden those things and dust the guns for finger prints?What NY/NYC needs is for the laws to change to force the police to do their jobs,not more "Gun Control" because like I said before,the criminals don't abide by/respect the law and that's the real problem.PA is a "shall issue" state and although there is crime here in PA it's nothing anywhere near as bad as it is in other states like NY.Right now they passed more stringent "Gun Control" laws in Chicago and now the crime and murder rate in Chicago is worse than ever.There have been tragedies and that's extremely sad but that doesn't mean that us law abiding citizens should be attacked and harassed like what's been happening,that investigative report Stossell interviewed criminals at a prison and when he asked the those prison inmates what they thought about "Gun Control" the prison inmates all laughed.The prison inmates at that Stossel interview said that they don't care anything about any "Gun Control" because they don't go to gun shops to have to pass background checks and one prison inmate said that if and when he got out he was going to have a gun regardless of any "Gun Control" laws.When Stossel asked the prison inmates which they fear more,the police or armed citizens all the prison inmates answered that they fear armed citizens more.The truth of the matter is that the police is not if ever going to be able to respond to our emergency calls and what's worse is that as the "Warren vs District of Columbia" and other such cases clearly demonstrate that the police have no duty to protect us as individuals.Just as it is unjust and even illegal to profile people just because of their ethnic background it should aLso be illegal for all of us law abiding gun owners to be attacked and blamed because of a few incidents where people that are/were mentally unstable or just plain evil kill groups of people.Those poor souls that lost their lives at that Sikh temple is a great tragedy indeed,but instead of attacking us law abiding citizens and trying to take away our gun rights why doesn't the government ban racism and hatred?Because that's what really killed those people in that Sikh temple,racism and hatred.This year alone there were two cases,one where a 14 yr old boy protected himself and his three siblings with his father's gun from an armed intruder that broke down their door and also the case of an 11 yr old girl that used her mother's rifle to defend herself when three intruders broke in her front door with the intention of doing her harm.If the parents of those kids had not been able to have guns in their houses because of "Gun Control" those kids might have been raped and murdered God forbid and that would have been acceptable?There are many instances where guns have saved lives,we can not and must not allow these paranoid schizophrenic gun-grabbers brain-wash us with their "half truths",outright lies and their "scare tactics" disarm us under the guise and their hidden agendas claiming that what they do is for the safety of us all.
