Again, I don't want this to turn into a pro vs. anti-gun thread. We have plenty of those. I will answer Supple Cow's questions with this, and that will be the end of my responding to pro or anti-gun stuff in this thread: I, personally, believe that the meaning of 'a well regulated militia' refers to a militia like the National Guard, and not the general populace. Most of the people I know are not responsible enough to own a gun. Most people can't even obey the rules of the road, so what reason would I have to trust them with firearms? I am a firm believer that when one fights fire with fire, one not only perpetuates the fire but gives it strength instead of putting it out. It's because of this that I will support any successful gun ban.
The real question is: will this effect crime in DC, and if so will crime grow or lessen? Only time will tell.
