Buying a ski mask isn't illegal, but could restricting their sale help prevent crime?Pathetic. Just pathetic.
The notion is stirring debate among some Northwest Washington residents after reports of robberies committed by men wearing ski masks.

On a Metropolitan Police Department-run listserv, Ms. Wheeler was one of several people who broached the subject of trying to discourage the sale of ski masks in the neighborhood, or asked legislators whether there are other ways to ban their sale....
