After the U.S. Supreme Court voided the unworkable pistol ban in the nation's capital, the District of Columbia council unanimously passed rules to license guns -- but only if they're kept unloaded, disassembled or trigger-locked inside homes. They still may not be carried on streets. Owners must pass eye and written tests. Gun-lovers plan to sue over the tough new rules. What a mess. This...

"The consequences are staggering: Homicide has been a leading cause of death for young African American men for nearly two decades. Usually a firearm is involved in these deaths. Increasingly, the motive for the killing is trivial, and I have heard them all: He cut ahead of me in line; he wouldn't give me a cigarette; he looked at my woman."

Why are people like this walking the streets with pistols in their pockets? Why does the gun lobby endlessly defend their "right to bear arms"? Why does the lobby oppose bans on armor-piercing "cop-killer" bullets and plastic pistols that can be sneaked past metal detectors? What kind of brutal America is the lobby trying to create?

Typical Anti-Gun attack full of half-truths, lies and scare tactics.

My plastic pistol cannot get past a metal detector and as far as I know there isn't a pistol made that can. And armor piercing rounds can kill anyone, not just cops.

Also, the people that the author mentioned are commonly known as criminals and are the ones I need to defend myself against.

Some people will just never get it.

why do they wish to ban everything?

like the saying goes - when all you have left is your shotgun and rifle - one will be a mass-casualty device, the other a high powered sniper weapon.

he talks like the places where large numbers of african americans are at its easy to legally purchase one or something. LA, DC, NYC, Chi... i'm sure their laws are easy enough for a young black male to get a firearm, right?
