Legal gun ownership. Many cities have additional laws/taxes/regulations on who can own/what firearms can be owned. This leads to an instance of people bringing in firearms from other municipalities or gangbangers having their stolen/illegal firearms
In addition many of the hyper liberals who pass laws restricting the 2A are concentrated in said cities. Who needs firearms when you have the police? lol
Case in point DC
Permit required to purchase? Yes Yes The firearm registration process also serves as a permitting process. Owner license required? Yes Yes The firearm registration process also serves as a licensing process. Firearm registration? Yes Yes All firearms except certain black powder firearms, must be registered with the Metropolitan Police Department. A background check and online training are required.
DC is an interesting case. They have the strict restrictions you noted and a bunch of rules about what features you're allowed to have, but at the same time their concealed carry process was successfully challenged in court, and now they have to issue you a concealed carry permit if you have a clean record. Of course they made it as annoying and expensive as possible (around $500 just in license and course fees), with the end result being that poor black people in shitty neighborhoods can't afford to protect themselves. Way to go, Democrats!
