The DC handgun ban does not reflect anyone's national viewpoint. DC has had a terrible poverty and crime problem due to its historic status as a safe place for blacks to stay during the bad old days of extreme racism. The problem has been there were no manufacturing jobs there so no middleclass was able to grow. The DC handgun ban went too far in my estimation, and is now history. But common sense gun regulation is absolutely necessary in any civilized society, and we need to expand bans on weapons sales not just to felons but to psychotics as well. They have turned out to be much more dangerous than ex-felons because if a criminal really wants a gun he can get one on the black market. But psychos can walk into any Walmart now and purchase a Glock. That needs to be regulated if we want to save lives. Other than that, and banning military assault weapons, democrats have no problem with gun ownership whatsoever. None.
