SOME FACTS ABOUT DC'S GUN LAW
It hasn't worked. In fact, murders soared after it was enacted and since have fallen with no reduction in the number of illegal guns in town.
It is restricts gun ownership by honest people without any effective control on gun ownership by dishonest people.
It is unconstitutional.
The four safest states in the union let its citizens have easy access to guns. They also states that retain a strong respect for democracy.
If the Supreme Court upholds the law, the dislike the rest of the country has for DC will leap and you can forget about DC statehood or even a token vote in the House.
We proposed that DC become a state, an article that led to the
creation of the DC Statehood Party. Years later both the Washington
Post and the NY Times editorially endorsed the idea.
We argued that the historic buildings on and around Pennsylvania
Avenue (running from the White House to the Capitol) should be
saved contrary to official plans of the time. These plans were
eventually reversed and the buildings were saved.
