....I kindly suggest you hold directing your insults at me, joyceforbbc.
....I believe you're associating ghettos with the projects, not building developments. An area where new homes & condominiums are built by a building developer near schools & shopping centers is called a "development"; usually given names such as Pine Forest, Eaglewood, etc., and an association created to keep rules & standards for that development. Usually home buyers are given a dozen or so model homes to choose floor plans. The particular development I now live in covers homes from $170-400,000, according to which section you build in, and currently has about 2,000 homes dating back to 2010.
....As far as my liking guns, I've mentioned in the political forum several times that I own several pistols, rifles, and 2 shotguns. My handguns are registered. I'm not against owning AR-15s IF the laws on these guns support their ownership, but they don't. (non-gun example) Even though you might have a drivers license to drive a car, you have to have a special license/training to drive an 18-wheeler. You can't just hop into a Freightliner or Mack and start driving it. Same with these special weapons ... owners should be required to get a thorough background check, take a special course in owning them, have the gun blueprinted, so it can be more easily identified & an traced if it is involved in a crime or accident, and the owner of the gun held responsible. If the gun is sold, the new buyer should meet the same requirements. In fact, it wouldn't hurt IF the owner had to also have a specific insurance policy to cover negligence or improper storage of the weapons.
....Conservatives want none of that ... they prefer it to be as easy as purchasing that pellet gun that TwoBi mentioned. Now who would you propose is pushing for that ... NRA? They pretty much own congress. Their allegiance is to the gun makers and gun shops ... not the citizens of the USA. By statistical information, its pretty obvious the US has a real problem with guns & crimes associated with them.
