Not to mention that there is plenty of court precedent overturning similar bans on low-income residents owning guns, including in public housing, on equal-protection grounds.

This shows, again, that the gun control lobby's idea of "reasonable gun control" includes no guns at all, at least not in the hands of people who aren't wealthy enough or have the wrong color skin.
