D.C. has NEVER enjoyed protection of the 2nd Amendment, or any other amendment for that matter. So, banning guns isn't taking away any of their rights.
As for the lack of an exodus...you're right. The opposite seems to have happened, which is fine. It shows how effective a gun ban could be - it'd likely result in more guns owned by criminals instead of law-abiding citizens.
Ironically, in place where guns are restricted or banned, and the crime rate goes up, know what they use to try to reduce crime? Yep. More Officers with guns. Those kooky bureaucrats...it almost seems like they're creating crime in order to justify a stronger police presence. But that would be tyrrany, so it can't be true in America. Heh.
On the plus side...like I said, any State at any time could have snatched away gun rights, but so far all they've done is whittle away at them slowly. It's still not too late to remind them how scary an armed populace can be to corrupt politicians, but just barely.
