Parker v. District of Columbia challenged D.C. law based upon its effective prohibition of ownership. The short story is that you had to register your handguns sometime in 1976 or 1977. After that date you could not legally register any handgun, so no new handguns were legal.

Additionally, young people were prohibited from ownership as transfers are not allowed. Legal registrations required you to be 21, so all registered handguns in D.C. are now owned by those over 50.

This implementation of a firearm ban most resembles the Hughes Amendment to FOPA 86. Since May 19, 1986, no new full auto firearms have been added to the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record  (NFA 34 database).

The bans most similar to D.C.'s are the most likely to fall if the Supreme Court hears Parker and upholds the appellate court's decision.

Update: Come on guys. Does no one know of registration laws followed by the end of registration? How about you California or New Jersey folks?
