WASHINGTON, D.C. GUN LAWS APPLY ONLY TO CITIZENS—NOT CRIMINALS

Background.  Like most medium to large American cities, Washington, D.C., i.e. the State of Confusion, is “governed” by Democrats who have failed every city they govern in terms of criminal activity and heinous crimes.

While D.C. has always had restrictive firearms laws, it went off the deep end about 1976, shortly after “Home Rule” was granted by Congress in 1973. (The city’s government had previously consisted of three Commissioners appointed by the President as well as having Congressional oversight and control of various aspects of the city’s management.)  In 1976, the new mayor-city council form of administration banned citizens from possessing handguns.  This abuse of the Bill of Rights eventually ended up in federal court--several times.   Eventually, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against D.C.
