You try to rape and kill me it's my constitutional right to make sure you spend the rest of your life steering a wheelchair by blowing into a tube.
The gun laws here in NYC are insane, you own a jewelry store and MAYBE you can get a premise permit. But you can go up to Hunts Point and buy an illegal gun on any block for $40. Here in NYC the criminals are the ONLY people with guns and standard NYPD policy when reporting to "gunshots fired" is to drive veeeery slowly to make sure it's all over when they get there. NYPD does not do shoot outs, they clean of the mess and go home to the suburbs. I keep the firehouse down the block on speed-dial, now THEY actually show up..

Perfect reasons for needing guns.
