Gun Control in Public Housing.

One of the most pernicious forms of gun control are bans on residents of public housing possessing guns IN THEIR HOMES. These are obvious violations of the Second Amendment, yet they persist. San Francisco and some other cites dropped these bans after being sued, but they still persist. The latest suit was filed against Wilmington, Del. See this piece by the Cesar Rodney Foundation. By the way, this is not a gun-group. It is an improve Delaware government group. The public ends up paying litigation expenses and the attorneys' fees of challengers. The taxpayer foots the bill for politicians who want to ride their ideological hobby horses.

These types of bans are amongst the worse. Public housing projects tend to have extremely high crime rates. Criminals living there will have guns no matter what the law or lease says. The disarmed law-abiding residents will be at the mercy of armed criminals. Arguably, the people who need the Second Amendment most are deprived of its protection. Of course, we all know the general demographics of public housing residents. Does that play a role? We all know that politicians and media types don't live in public housing.
