And I lived in the ghetto. So I don't think it's where you live that influences the way you think.
Drive-bys, stabbings, mugging, raping, drugs, etc. The stereotypical growing up in a ghetto. I don't support a ban. Merely regulation to at least perhaps make it harder for "bad" people to have access.
I am curious. Have you ever lost anyone to that type of violence or had it turned on yourself? (If it's too personal, feel free to ignore)
I ask because you and I seem to be in the minority on this subject for people who have lived in/grown up in this type of area.
