Evidence Review We evaluated peer-reviewed articles from 1970 to 2016 focusing on the association between US firearm laws and firearm homicide. We searched PubMed, CINAHL, Lexis/Nexis, Sociological Abstracts, Academic Search Premier, the Index to Legal Periodicals and Books, and the references from the assembled articles. We divided laws into 5 categories: those that (1) curb gun trafficking, (2) strengthen background checks, (3) improve child safety, (4) ban military-style assault weapons, and (5) restrict firearms in public places and leniency in firearm carrying. The articles were assessed using the standardized Guide to Community Preventive Services data collection instrument and 5 additional quality metrics: (1) appropriate data source(s) and outcome measure(s) were used for the study, (2) the time frame studied was adequate, (3) appropriate statistical tests were used, (4) the analytic results were robust, and (5) the disaggregated results of control variables were consistent with the literature.

I'm not willing to purchase their article, but any time I see a study on "homicides" it includes all homicides, whether "justifiable" or murder. Studies that include both to make a case for more gun control, to me, smack of intellectual dishonesty.
Anyone wanting to do a study on actual murders with firearms can get all the information they need, in about 15 minutes, off the FBI web site, including the number of murders, the race of both the victim and murderer, and the type of firearm used. Had these jokers done that, they would have found that all long guns make up a very small percentage of firearms used in murders, yet they conclude that "military-style assault weapons" need to be banned.

Furthermore, firearm owners are also required to obtain a gun license for any shotgun, rifle, or handgun. The purchase of firearms within the city limits are strictly restrictive to the sale and purchase of only shotguns and rifles. The sell or purchase of handguns is prohibited by D.C. gun laws.
