The City of Washington D.C. is a national JOKE. The pinheads that run the place want Statehood or, failing that, a vote for their delegate.
Solutions to this have included ceding the District back to Maryland (which does not want it) to one truly radical proposal that Arlington County Va and parts of the city of Alexandria be re-taken to form the original District. (Over my and countless other Virginians' dead bodies, and literally and no fooling!)
Remember "Moosylvania", the fictitious border territory in "Rocky and Bullwinkle" that was the source of tensions between Canada and the USA because niether one wanted to claim the &^%*hole? THAT'S Washington D.C. vis a vis Maryland and our Beloved Commonwealth.
Gun laws are just the tip of the iceberg. For my money it would be dandy if the whole place were walled off Berlin-style and the bridges and Metro tunnels blown up. An F-5 tornado could hit the place and do a couple trillion dolars in improvements, if you ask me.
