LIberals how do you explain crime decreasing after DC handgun ban was overturned? (cocaine, Alabama)

[evan83]

How can you have a trigger lock law, if handguns are banned? What was being "trigger-locked"?

Typical...when you can't come up with a reasonable answer to a legitimate question, you start calling names. Are you 12?

And another fact: even after the new law, the vast majority of DC residents (as Los Angeles, San Francisco, NYC, Boston's ones) don't own and don't carry guns.
Yet, crime is decreasing, and the Batman-like scenario that republitards foresaw for such cities hasn't happened

If smitty ever asks a sensible question or backs up his wild claims with facts and statistics - yes - my head would explode.

Anything to back this up? I guess your claim that you know that vast majority of all those people in those cities....seems, well.....ignorant....

Chicago also has some of the most strict gun laws in the country and yet we see some that it is a very dangerous place to live depending on the neighborhood. California is pretty strict and yet we see high crime.
A law is only as good as its enforcement or how well it is written.
Imagine how many less automobile fatalities would happen if cars were banned? Is it the right thing to do?

It's called gentrification.
