Well Mike, it looks like D.C. will get the chance to see what the end of the "experiment" looks like. A federal judge struck down D.C.'s gun laws last year, and the Supreme Court will hear it later this year.
Anton Scalia's bunch sided with the cops in the Gonzales case, but I doubt they'll do it again.

I think gun laws in D.C. are too strict too, but they aren't the problem there.

Violence is not up across the board in D.C. It's a youth, class and race issue. Look at each side of the green line in the city and see the differences.

Guns are always going to be available in D.C. because Maryland and Virginia don't have strict gun laws. But once D.C.'s laws are struck down, by golly, all those poor minority folks can feel good about some firefights with the gangs! Come on, all you meek obeyers of the law. Let's go shoot at some bangers. Why not? We can use legal guns now!

Yessiree, there's nothing racist about that idea. It's their personal responsibility! Let them shoot it out while we buy up condos in Georgetown gated communities.

Come on, man. You're torqued that the cops in Bumbdiddle, Colo., didn't do all they could to protect some kids, but you're blaming the lack of guns for violence in D.C.? How about the lack of cops in violent areas there? How about the lack of jobs? How about the lack of fathers? None of those issues can be solved by a gun.

If that lady in Colorado had a gun, she still wouldn't have been able to stop her husband -- she wasn't there when he took the kids. Maybe if he didn't have access to a gun, things might have turned out better.

Or maybe the bureaucracy could arm all the kids with crazy dads. That's it, sweetie, bust a cap in daddy's ass.
