Gun Control & RKBA

And work in DC, and DC continues to attempt to find ways to limit its law-abiding citizens from carrying firearms while crime, including murders, has skyrocketed and is much higher than it has been in at least a decade. People are getting stabbed to death on the metro and shot walking to a pub and I'm pretty sure that legal gun ownership isn't the problem. The chief of police has stated that the vast, overwhelming majority of these crimes are committed by felons who aren't permitted to own a gun in the first place, so the strict gun laws in the district that prevent law-abiding citizens from owning a gun aren't doing good in any event.

And an important point about this poll is that support for a gun ban is down to about 50% from around 70% a few years ago. So other headlines for this poll could be "almost half of DC residents oppose a gun ban" or "support for a gun ban in DC at its lowest in decades." Keep in mind that DC residents are overwhelmingly Democrats.
