You and I are often in the same side, but
When I lived in New Haven (who last elected a Republican in 1953 and the D got rejected with 77% of vote last night) the city had a regulation that made gun permits the sole preview of the police chief.
He approved once 3 or 4 a year for a decade.
It took a challenge and court order to make the police approve legitimate permits where the applicant had made proper application and met state requirements and training.
Yes, even in a D city ownership could be prevented by regulations.
And I am against gun ownership, but fair is fair in posting accurately
