Are new Yorkers pissed about the right to self defense being taken away, [...]
🙄 ... selfdefense? ... So you wanna feel secure then?
[...] or happy to trade their own personal freedom and responsibility for a sense of security?
Oh I guess, feeling secure wasn't the point at all. Having a gun is just about being free and responsibility. I guess feeling secure is out of the window. Espescially if you consider the consequences of how the US has handled guns through the years. I also don't know how this has anything to do with "responsibility", but I guess adding that word there makes the word salad look a bit better and fills people with happy feelings about themselves.
