On a meaningfulbut otherwise unrelated note.... Washington DC is a perfect example of exactly what kind of violence you will have in a city where people no longer have the right to protect themselves. What ever happened to the right of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"? It would seem to me that by not allowing a law abiding citizen to defend his rights, you are undermining the entire process. DC has one of the highest violent crime rates in the country, followed by East and NW Chicago in Illinois, another state with a zero tolerance policy on carry. Taking handguns away from "criminals" sure is working great isn't it?
