I think, if there's one thing that's for sure, though, is that poverty is HIGHLY correlated with crime rate, hence why I think the direct comparison between DC and Kennesaw is not the "end all" proof to why strict gun control fails, but if you don't want me to say apples and oranges, that's fine.
Those are some compelling stats, although looser gun control (what you are arguing for, I think) and mandatory gun ownership (the case in Kenneasw) are far from the same thing... do you propose every property owner in DC buy a gun to comply with the new law (food for thought)?
Some cities, Det, NJ cities, maybe some other cities that have less strict gun control laws than DC have just as high if not higher crime rates than DC. I'm not against your case, but I think your proposed evidence (Kennesaw) offers only weak and partial support.
