Full article here: [url]http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/national/2008/03/06/a-key-case-on-gun-control.html[/quote]The D.C. law, like laws in Chicago and New York City, doesn't explicitly bar handguns; it requires that all residents register them with the city. Since the city stopped registering handguns in 1976, no one who hadn't registered by then can have a handgun at home. The result, effectively, is a ban. D.C.'s law also bars residents from keeping any other firearm, such as a rifle or a shotgun, loaded or assembled.
To tell you the truth, I only quoted that statement from a PROGun poster I downloaded. I never really researched it until you asked, so these articles may already be outdated. Any updates would be welcome though...![]()
