I understand your argument though I disagree with it because it's their home too. If they don't want a gun there then move your ass somewhere else because truth be told owning gun actually increases the risk of you dying by a gun. I mean you know how many people out there are fukking stupid or think about killing someone then because they don't have a gun they actually talk to that person and work it out, but what if they had a gun in a case like this? They would kill someone just out of anger that would have eventually subsided and the conflict resolved. I don't think everyone should have a gun tbh and feel the background check should be tougher as well as roomates having to cosign you having the gun in their home. If they know your ass is crazy or they are too p*ssy then you shouldn't have the gun in their house and that's the bottom line.
I mean take for instance the Marvin Gaye situation where his father killed him with a gun, his own father. There are so many cases like that per year as well fools out here who shouldn't have guns like that girl who picked up a gun and shot her boyfriend's head off on camera cause she didn't know the gun was loaded or so so she said. She was so stupid she didn't know you should never point a gun at someone cause even if you think its empty a bullet can be in the chamber. The statistics also show that gun owners are more likely to commit suicide then to actually use it as protection in a situation for self defense and I can provide the stats if you want them.
With all this said NY is too extreme, there should be a middle line between the states with pretty much no gun control and NYC level gun control.
