>The thing is I've travelled through NYC and of all the places ive ever been, its one of the places where i feel like having a gun is a necesity. Roaming feral niggers everywhere, crime and property destruction everywhere, petty crimes are considered not crimes. It's absolutely insane, and i would never want to go into this place without some form of protection. My other guess is all the good weapons are also banned: butterfly knives, switchblades, etc That's the whole point. They don't want you to be able to protect yourself. Stay out of the big cities unless you are willing to do things you should never had to do in order to not be murdered.
