As I said, it's a victory for DC. Crime rates will likely drop off slightly, which is a good thing. Did you read my post? If you had, I doubt you'd be making a starwman argument.
Banning guns in DC was a stupid idea. If you want to give a gun ban a shot (no pun intended), you should do it in an area where there are already very strong gun restrictions and measures. There is a reason that it is working so well in the UK. The UK isn't walking distance from West Virginia.

I've never herd of a war being fought with locks on doors. People aren't held hostage at alarm system-point. I've never herd of someone bringing their panic room to work and blowing away their coworkers.
