This editorial is about hand-gun bans. This article discusses the insights learned the the D.C. hand-gun bun. The article discusses how everywhere that has enacted a hand gun ban the crime ban has increased instead of decreased as promised. This article describes instances where the murder rates rose when the hand-gun ban was in effect and fell immediately when the ban was lifted. This article gives you insight to see that law-abiding citizens hold handguns, not criminals and when you take away their right to bare a hand gun you lessen their freedom you lessen safety. I enjoyed this article because it was short sweet and to the point. I think it was very interesting that the government in different places purpose in banning hand guns to lessen violence but really it had the opposite effect.
