Handguns were banned in DC and yet criminals still had guns, that work REAL well. This is a win for the residents of DC.

Nickles does not understand that triigers locks requirement were specifically invalidated. They have to allow the gun to be operable , that means no trigger locks requirements. The residents can choose the degree of safe storage rather than be chosen for them. A little bit of freedom for the DC residents

The manditory registration of all handguns will do nothing to prevent crime.
Felons, or ex-felons, are exempt from this requirement under law: Haynes v. U.S. 85 (1968).
SELF-INCRIMINATION - I'm not allowed to possess a gun, so you can't make me tell you that I have one.

Did that guy Nickles just say he would be working to have trigger lock requirements? I wish this guy, who does not live in my city, would stop wasting my tax dollars. This will be shot down (no pun intended).
