COMMISSIONER GORDON: Attack-90 semi-automatic from Mayarm Industries. 9 millimeter with 32 round capacity. Easily convertible to full automatic. Mayarm even boasts it "resists fingerprints." I hate this gun. Retails at $250 but you can get it cheaper if you know where to go. I've had more cops killed with this gun this year ... They make them here in Gotham, you know. Even though you can't buy them in the city. Can buy them in a lot of the suburbs, though I've tried telling the suburban townships but they keep seeing it as a "Gotham problem." They refuse to understand how the white gangs in their townships trade the guns for drugs which ARE their problem. It's all related.

BATMAN: Gangs have always had guns

COMMISSIONER GORDON: Not like these. And I don't remember them being this young, this violent. The absolute worst of them has to be the NZN -- The New Zealot Nation -- and their leader, Chaka Zulu. Started out as a street gang. None of them can be much over twenty. He started out as Lionel Allen. His father ran off when he was born. His mother had a series of boyfriends. The last one used to beat both her and the boy. When Lionel was eight, he found the man's gun and killed him with it. He was an abused child, no doubt about it, but I talked with the officer who arrested the kid. Lionel set the guy up, and he got off. Lionel learned early the power that came with a gun. And he's used it ever since. The lessons you learn early are the ones that stay with you the longest.
