June 26, 2008 - Washington, DC, USA - The US Supreme Court that Americans have a constitutional right to bear arms, ending a ban on owning handguns in Washington, DC in its first ruling on gun rights in 70 years. The court's landmark 5-4 decision, said the city's law violated the second amendment of the US constitution which the justices said guaranteed citizens the right to keep guns at home for self-defense.

Criminality peaked in 1992 with 72, 667 recorded acts of violence, of which 1, 096 were homicides. The distribution of homicides in the city is uneven with nearly half of such crimes occurring in the four stations of the South Bureau of the LAPD encompassing South Los Angeles and the Harbor area.
