Since I live in a major metroplitan city that has mulled this idea...

I don't agree with it, but I can see the practicality of it. I do also think that it's unconstitutional on it's face. There are already laws about discharging firearms in city limits that encompass the safety issue I illustrate below.

The density of the population so close to each other with thin walls and doors sometimes makes one feel quite unsafe. There's lots of instances where people are just sitting in their homes and killed by stray bullets that happen to pierce the wall and kill them as they sit in their living rooms innocently watching TV after going to work, paying taxes, and playing with their kids.

That said, I happen to also live in a large housing complex where the walls are concrete so that I don't have to worry about some moron who left the oven on. When the fire engulfs his home, mine isn't really in any true jeopardy from immolation, just smoke and water damage.
