abstract="Before the enactment of the handgun ban, fewer than 1/2 of 1% of guns seized by police in the District of Columbia had been lawfully registered. Accordingly, the bans on ownership of registered handguns and on home self-defense by law-abiding people have virtually nothing to do with the legitimate government interest in crime control. To the contrary, the handgun and self-defense bans are criminogenic.   The International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association is participating because police recruits who already have personal civilian experience using handguns are better trainable to use handguns safely and proficiently as police officers.",
