Gun control

Means using two hands:

When Florida passed a law in 1987 making it easier for citizens to get licenses to carry concealed firearms, opponents predicted that blood would run in the streets. "When you have 10 times as many people carrying guns as you do now, and they get into an argument and tempers flash, you're going to have people taking out guns and killing people," one gun control activist said.

Since the law was passed, it turns out, Florida's murder rate has been cut in half. Instead of becoming more dangerous, the state has become considerably safer.

With rare exceptions, the people carrying guns have done so responsibly. In the last 18 years, the state has granted more than 1 million conceal-carry permits. Only 155 people have had their licenses revoked for crimes involving firearms -- one for every 7,000 licenses issued.

Meanwhile, in Washington DC where as wikipedia notes "Handguns have been outlawed (unless registered as of February 5, 1977), carrying guns (concealed or not) is prohibited, and all guns and ammunition must be registered" we had 198 murders last year. That's actually the lowest since 1986. It seems that four people were shot to death this past weekend. I don't know what the count is thus far for the year as the article doesn't say. I guess such tallies are only used for soldiers killed in Iraq.
