DC is one of the homicide capitals of the United States.

D.C.'s 2012 murder rate actually put it at only 19th among U.S. cities, below such "homicide capitals" as Buffalo, Milwaukee, and Oklahoma City.

There are many factors that have contributed to D.C.'s crime turnaround, but removing guns from criminals certainly is among them. I don't pretend to know how much of a role this played versus, say, removing lead from our drinking water and air, but I suspect it is a significant factor.
