Repeal of the 2nd Amendment, would automatically preface the repeal of the others, 1 through 10 in any immediate manner that the Politicians found imperative.
Our governance has already degenerated from a Democratic Republic to a Democratic Social Oligarchy.

The media never seems to question anyone on anything. Today it seems that anyone can say anything about anything and half the population will believe it, period. If they were required to verify the facts on each and every story perhaps we could move on. When a politician gets out there and can say anything that comes to mind he/she should be held accountable to verify the facts before opening his/her mouth, period. It seems our politicians and law enforcement don't follow the law anymore, perhaps because we, the people, don't hold our politicians accountable anymore.

Point taken on gun control, guns do not kill people, people kill people. As far as I can tell everything presented here is verifiable. NUMBER ONE WITH A BULLET https://www.youtube.com/embed/pELwCqz...

There are 35,000 uniformed police officers in NYC... which immediately makes me question the statistics.

We could debate that, Eudai... tho had you moved to Montana, Alaska might have been bumped. --grins--

They already DO flock to the bottom 10 states... The strange one (to me) is #29, as there are places in that state that I wouldn't want to travel...

Also, 42 is in a way a misnomer... while the ownership in the good gun-controlled hometowns of Feinstein, Boxer, et al. are near zero (which gives the low number), if you broke out the northern 1/3 from the rest (say, call it Jefferson or something) my educated guess is it would have pushed ND to #11.

Now if you'll pardon me, I need to sight in my deer rifle and pattern my shotgun before my standing appointment at the pistol range...

a gun is property..Locke & Hobbes established the rights of man(woman) as the right to life, liberty, & property...no further argument is constructive in a rational discussion....rule #1...do not argue with a crazy person or collection of crazy persons (i.e...govt)

Good question. But it puts NYC at about 0.25% gun ownership. Compare that to my other post here showing gun ownership by state. Except for looters, NYC is defenseless.

But you may have contributed to the favorable statistics ;^)

I wonder how this compares to the number of illegal guns in NYC?

Wyoming is at the top of the list of gun ownership.
And that's not just because I moved there!

Here is an interesting statistic chart on gun ownership as percent of population by state:

Pick your favorite place to resist confiscation.
Better yet, put up a fence between America and the bottom 10 states. Bet there would be a lot of criminals who would emmigrate to those states for the "business" opportunity.

Per this list there are only about 22,000 licenced gun owners in NYC (population 8.5 million.)

Wonder how many are wise guys and "security" guards?

I do not understand why team Obama hasn't proposed taking one model city, say Chicago, imposing whatever draconian steps are necessary to confiscate every gun in civilian hands, searching every vehicle, train, and plane entering the city, and then after one year proudly proclaiming the benefits of eliminating the second amendment.

Gauntlet indeed
