[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 1880248, member: 18914"] JB, Neither NY City/State (I grew up in NYC and went to school through college in NY State) nor Chicago/Illinois have lax gun laws. I think laws restricting law abiding citizens from owning and carrying guns - besides being unconstitutional - are unproductive and merely. However, significant penalties for criminal use, rigorously enforced, might serve to deter common criminals. I am just not sure if anything can be done for the lone guy who just goes nuts. I mean if one has decided to go kill a former boss by shooting him in the face in midtown Manhattan in daylight - the whole issue of laws and penalties is pretty much out the window as an implicit decision to accept any penalty has already been made.
