Write own gun laws

Original Title: House Committee Bill Would Let D.C. Write Own Gun Laws
By: Mary Beth Sheridan

At the moment, hand held guns and rifles are not allowed in Washington D.C. but that changed when the Supreme Court ruled against it three months ago. They would allow D.C. officials to write their own guns laws within 30 days. Some are afraid that it would increase the risk of another terrorist attack. Most would want the law to change the law so that you can have weapons in your own home, but you can't take them outside. Most say they only want guns anyway to have a way of self defense.

I believe that it would be a huge risk if hand held guns and rifles were allowed in the United States, but I do believe that it is their right to have a gun because it is in the Constitution. I agree that residents should only have the ability to have the guns in their homes and not be allowed to take them outside where they can be a hazard.
