DC Considering Temporarily repealing Gun Ban

Just a couple of weeks ago, Mayor Adrian Fenty acknowledged the obvious: "We have one of the highest homicide rates in the country but at the same time have the strictest [gun] law." Of course, his solution was that every place else needed more gun control. Then this week, D.C. Council member Marion Barry and three other lawmakers proposed suspending the city's 30-year-old handgun ban. For 90 days, Washingtonians should be able to buy and register handguns. It is a good start, though a permanent repeal would make more sense. . . .
