Here's a question: How do you protect yourself with a firearm in Washington, D.C., without breaking the law?
Here's the answer: You can't.
And the District of Columbia isn't just taking their gun ban to the Supreme Court. As
John Lott points out, the District of Columbia was also involved in another court case, one where the District officials successfully opposed taking responsibility for the individual safety of its residents.
So here's the next question: If the District isn't legally responsible for the safety of its residents ... and its residents can't legally use the most effective tool for self-defense … why do the elected leaders in the District of Columbia want armed criminals to have the upper hand?
Answer: They won't admit it, but that's the cold reality of their policy.
Let me put that another way: Criminals who defy the law can take a life far more easily than a law-abiding D.C. resident will ever be able to save one.
