Washington's handgun ban went into effect in 1976, an attempt to stop a wave of gun-related violence. City residents cannot keep handguns in their homes, with the exception of law enforcement officials and those who owned guns before the ban.
The law's effectiveness is questionable. More than 8,400 people have been killed in the past 32 years, many with handguns.
