The Washington Post’s Shankar Vedantam has a killer angle today on the D.C. handgun ban: An old study found that D.C.’s suicide rate dropped off big time soon as the city enacted the ban in 1976, because handguns make it real convenient for a guy to shoot himself when he gets a suicidal impulse. I highly recommend the article.
