New York City is home to about 8.8 million people -- with the addition of hundreds of thousands of commuters and tourists every day -- all in about 300 square miles. "New York City in 1791, when the Second Amendment was ratified, had 33,000 people in it. New York City now has eight million residents and more on a work day," says Michael Waldman, president of the Brennan Center for Justice. And the Supreme Court allowed for the possibility that states can designate special areas -- like Times Square or the World Trade Center -- where guns would be flat-out prohibited. But we are a step closer to having America's tsunami of guns wash into places that have until now, instituted common sense gun regulations.
