There were sharply different viewpoints on the impact of the Supreme Court's ruling striking down the District of Columbia's ban on gun ownership.
Under the district's ban, it was a crime to carry an unregistered firearm, and the registration of handguns was prohibited. The Supreme Court's decision Thursday declared for the first time that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to self-defense and gun ownership.

I've lived here by the District since 1985 and even with the gun ban there still are plenty of shootings. A ban is not going to stop criminals. What they need to do is make anyone who knowingly sells a gun illegally be charged as an accessory to any crime committed with that gun.
