I'm not afraid of New York. I'm afraid of Washington, DC. I've been there many times and, even though I carry a firearm, residents there cannot. Nor can they own one in their own home (capguns excepted, although I don;t think they can be manufactured anymore because someone complained that they make a loud noise).
Yes, I'm afraid of that city. Where else do you get the gift of an accelerated crime rate by the simple act of banning legal ownership of weapons?
Why am I afraid? Because the novel idea (started in 1976) of becoming famous (We have the highest crime rate per capita anywhere the world over!! We are number 1 ! Look at us!!!) could spread to other cities and, eventually, entire states.
Other than that, I'm only afraid of fires.
