Detroit is a violent city. I live a short driving distance from there. But at least you can lawfully carry there. Their are no semi auto or mag capacity restrictions at all here and NO local governments can add gun control laws on top of state law per state law.

That's all. Oh and a broke city and police force. Poorly run 9-11 and..... and....
