Big bang boom
As the DC murder rate drops from 248 murders in 2003 to 198 in 2004, the House Government Reform Committee will be sighting the District's gun control laws in its cross-hairs. Expect a big push from the NRA and anyone who else who enjoys a gleaming 50-caliber.
"The possession of unregistered firearms has been illegal in the District since 1976. Registration of all handguns, automatic firearms and high-capacity semiautomatic firearms is also prohibited. Opponents of the restrictions say they are unconstitutional under the Second Amendment, but courts have upheld the District's gun control laws." [via NRA]
