that in the District of Columbia you cannot own a gun? I wonder why in the capital of our nation we have such a high crime rate, despite the ban on handguns? Washington, DC is a beautiful place as long you’re in the right neighborhood. Only miles from the White House, you put yourself in harms way just by taking a walk. This is a disgrace. Shouldn't Washington DC be a model city, rather than a carbon copy of Detroit or Newark. It’s another domestic problem that is never addressed by the media or politicians. Taking away the "evil" guns has only resulted in making the crime rate worse. Even more stupid is that you can possess a rifle or shotgun, but it must remained disassembled. The issue of private gun ownership in the District was the topic of arguments before the US Supreme Court earlier this week. I personally do not own a handgun, rifle or shotgun. First of all, I can’t afford to buy one. Second, I have not come to terms with firearms. Just looking at one makes me nervous. But the right to bear arms is guaranteed in our constitution. And so it should be. I would hope the Court affirms that and “they” stop messing around with what should be a “given.” The photo is a Walther PPK.
