They also do gun drop offs, where you can bring your gun in and get cash for it. That goes for rifles all the way down to BBs. Slice that however you want to.

....and D.C., where they are also banned, has seen skyrocketing crime. Slice that as well.

Im not attributing the drop in crime to the ban. I think improved police work in the city has been a much bigger contributer, especially specialized gang task forces which have made a big impact.

But I will say this. If you have a family, the proper thing to do is lock a gun up safely and out of reach. However, if an intruder really does come into your home, how fast are you really going to be able to react? I still think theres a much bigger risk of mistaking a family member for an intruder (i've seen it happen), or having a kid get ahold of it.

What is everyones opinion for why there is such a gun fascination in the United States? There are countries in Europe where even the police dont carry guns, and their crime rates are lower than ours.
