And yet DC has some of the most restrictive gun control laws in the nation. A law-abiding citizen does not have the right to own a gun in his home in DC, yet DC still has the highest rate of gun related violence. Glad to see that gun control really does work.....NOT.

It isn't working, which is why we need to ban them altogether nationwide and start the long process of getting them off the streets permanently. Banning them in DC is a moot point when all you have to do is jump the border into Maryland or Virginia to obtain a weapon of personal destruction.
