You make it sound like Washington is like Texas

By ban I mean strict laws, when the law was in place before 2008 there was no minimum sentence for being caught with one

Fact is Washington kept the most important part intact....city laws still prohibit carrying guns, both openly and consealed. The reason gun crime in Washington is high and always has been is because they don't lock em up when caught, give them 10-15 years like NY and see what happens.

Stats don't lie, no matter how you try to spin it...handguns kill in the hands of citizens and criminals.

I always remember what my brother-in-law(whos a cop) says:

Handguns are for cops,wimps and Pvssys. But I would rather carry a baseball bat to work.
