NYC is one of the safest cities in America. The per-capita crime rate speaks for itself. While the presence of racial minorities may make it may *feel* more dangerous to people from rural areas, it's still a very safe place to live.

You might be shocked to learn that the 2nd Amendment has exactly zero to do with hunting.

Anybody who thinks that they "know" what the second amendment means is deluding themselves. The historical record is crude at best. Even if it were better, the amendment was passed when weapons technology and popular conceptions of individual liberty were very different than they are now. The law was drafted without punctuation, and indeed several states ratified versions of it with different numbers and placement of commas. There are perfectly legitimate arguments in favor of interpreting the second amendment to either permit tanks and assault rifles or to allow for the banning of handguns. The amendment means what the Supreme Court says that it means, not because they're right, but because there is no clear answer and somebody has to figure it out.

So when did we pass an Amendment authorizing the FDA, DEA, etc? Thus was the 9th and 10th Amendments voided without a vote being needed.

Oh yes right wing troll. Please return us to the good old days when meat wasn't inspected for e-coli. Please burn the homes of millions to the ground.

Only on slashdot does this get modded "insightful"
