Not "if". This is a statement of fact, confirmed in the courts.
That is something that you need to ask the Democratic Party, especially those Democrats running the cities of Washington DC, Chicago IL, and San Francisco CA, which have distinguished themselves as banning handguns.

Regards the 'Democrats who run the City of Chicago' (at least) you are correct, they all made me very nauseous; the stunts I saw them pull off made me vomit more than once, I just did not (and still do not) have the stomach to deal with it. I _never_ intended to live in that hellhole once I retired and got on my pension anyway; it was a very unfortunate set of circumstances which caused me to have a brain aneurysm in 1999 and after a year or so of diddling around with them have to retire early, but now that I _am_ retired mostly, I would never want to return to Chicago and live there. I know it probably makes me come off sounding like a hateful, bitter old man ( and that, I may be) but the place at one point I was proud to be part of and enjoyed tremendously, I now simply cannot stand to be around or near.
