Tough laws, but vulnerable
Some of the toughest gun laws in the country: Licensing & Registration for all firearms Assault Weapons Ban 10-day waiting period Design safety standards for handguns One-Handgun-Per Month Reporting of lost and stolen firearms May-Issue: To get carry permit, one must “have a good reason to fear injury to his or her person or property.” Vulnerable to illegal gun trafficking from states with weak gun laws: 96% of DC’s crime guns come from an outside state. Virginia is top source state (by far). 1,609 guns recovered from crime scenes in 2015.
