Gun control is elitist [View All]

Crime in cities is always higher in the poor and working class neighborhoods. Wealthy neighborhoods and ritzy apartment complexes can provide private security or even private armed security for protection. They will have sophisticated monitoring technology and advanced security locks to make robbery and burglary prohibitively difficult in those neighborhoods.

Yet these handgun bans enacted by numerous cities say that citizens who may live in the more crime-ridden neighborhoods cannot protect themselves. They have to depend on the all mighty police to do it for them. The fact is that police will be prone to taking crime more seriously in a wealthy neighborhood than a poor neighborhood anyway.
