We've already tried to ban guns in (many) cities while allowing them outside those cities. Criminals just leave the city to buy guns.
Now people in cities want to solve that by forbidding people outside the cities from owning guns.
- aplummer 9y agoNobody in any sane country has or city has banned guns. It’s just regulation like cars or planes or doing electrical work or cutting up fugu
- PurpleBoxDragon 9y agoAt least for cars there is no regulation. Using them on public property (public roads) has certain regulations, but not for use on private property.
- leereeves 9y agoHow shall we define banned? Obviously no government anywhere has completely banned guns - they all arm at least some portion of their police and most allow bodyguards to carry guns to protect the wealthy and powerful. I used the word banned meaning "made impossible for a large number of people to own legally". Governments that theoretically allow permits but rarely grant those permits in practice have effectively banned guns.
