This is exactly what I mean when I say only the crooks will be armed when you take away the peoples arms and leave them defenseless against the gangs and street violence. Anything can be had on the black market weather its drugs or guns. They will go after the week and defenseless before going into an area that they know there victims are armed.
It is against the law in DC to have a hand gun, period, or a rifle that is not disassembled.
I saw an article that said on the day handguns became legal in D.C., only one person showed up to register. He was turned away because he didn't bring his gun with him to register. (I'm not sure how it was legal to carry the unregistered gun to the registration office)

good point.
reminds me of the story my grandpa told of how he got his first driver's license.
He jumped into his truck (after crank starting it) and drove down to the police station. They guy there asked him how he got there and my young grandpa told he drove. The cop filled out his driver's license right there and sent him on his way.
(remember back in that day they had to double clutch ) He used to tell me (with a smile) that syncromesh was for sissys!
Ummm....in Michigan you have to take your newly purchased pistol to the police station to have it registered. You keep it in the case it came in and nothing loaded. How else would you register a firearm?
The police want to physically see it and the number on it. Nothing strange about it.
well yeah. I assumed that. Genghis's question was one of those interesting paradoxical ones. kinda like \"Fat chance\" and \"slim chance\" or some such. (yes yes.. i know those aren't questions.)
