Throughout history only slaves have been disarmed. Gun control will never occur in the United States with 230 million Americans armed to the teeth (90 guns for every 100 people). By the way, you can purchase shotguns and rifles in NYC, and even conceal carry handguns (if you're an investment banker...). "High-powered and automatic" weapons is subjective, as a shotgun has more "mass mowing" power than anything, and 99% of civilian assault rifles are semi-automatic because obtaining a class 3 automatic license through the ATF is basically impossible.

I like those odds to protect my life, property, and liberty.

America will enjoy its guns and other western nations will enjoy their very low rate of gun crime.

To each his own.
