Of course, pantyhose would have to be outlawed as well. But even after all that, you'll have some criminals who are just too damn clever...
Outlaw ski masks and you will just create a market for burkas and pantyhose.

RACISTS !!!
Will they ban pants? Thankfully, I’ve never seen a burglar without pants.
This is a very important question because if you read the weekly DC (by district) crime report ( Wash. Post, every Thursday), you can see the crime patterns by neighborhood, number of people involved, whether masks were worn (last week, major numbers of them), and the times when the crimes were reported (too many people walking down dark alleys in the A.M. Just walking “ducks” for those who know the area and where to attack.
A better idea would be to put police-sanctioned secret surveillance cameras either/or - inside the stores that sell face masks, just outside the door to record who went in/came out with a purchase (for future identification if a known gang member), and across the street to record any car license plates of the cars used by suspected or known gang members.
Most group robberies, 3 or more, are committed on foot and the robbers run away. Only a few get into a waiting car, but there are enough such incidents to justify matching mask-store photos of cars with those reportedly used in street robberies.
Last week 25 guns (or more) were reported as used in street crimes in DC, 3 knives and 2 possible guns/objects. Getting the gangs off the streets and into jail will get the majority of the illegal guns off the street and save lives.
However, DC politicians, among the most morally, intellectually and criminally corrupt in the nation, are against gun ownership, i.e. leaving the majority of the crime victims (black people), helpless to defend themselves in their homes, on the street, or even in their car (lots of carjackings by 2-3 individuals who also have a getaway car).
Well thought-out surveillance cameras, intelligently placed, can greatly help to reduce crime in targetted high-crime areas. Some DC police know this and want it. Too often the brass is a bunch of liberals who want to have tea with the gangs to ask them to stop their criminal activities (aka Hillary Clinton and the jihadists of Ben Ghazi).
None of what I advocate or support here is new. It has been around for decades (I got my AA Certificate in Police Science in 1981). What is lacking is police leadership to use both new and old technology properly, and to get the prosecutors to really prosecute, not plea bargain in serious case.
One DC murder suspect was let out on bail with a GSP bracelet yet he managed to kill another person recently and wound two. That’s the “D.C. Way” to handle violent, charged suspects.
No wonder the streets of DC are so unsafe in many areas. The criminal justice system and the political system are more friendly to the criminal than their victims.
This has got to change, now!
Do it.
DO IT DO IT!
Outlaw knitwear, see where that gets you. Put a ten day waiting period on knitting needles and ban high capacity looms.
Maybe folks will recognize that the criminals and murderers are wearing expensive tailored suits and have bodyguards and drive around in armored SUV convoys.
Our own government officials look like narcotrafficantes wherever they go. Lots of money, prostitutes, and lots of guns packed into black Suburbans.
Yeah. Ban knit caps. You can’t fix stupid and I’m wondering if you can even keep it in check?
Close the ski mask loophole!
These idiots with their urban moron mentality really have no imagination ... all they can think of to do is ban things and ask for more cops. You should have seen the whinging leftist female that was agitating for the ski-mask ban ... real parody material.
Despite "Heller", DC still has draconian gun restrictions ... I bet they could see some real progress in crime reduction by allowing the honest citizens to arm themselves.
But DCMPD, City Council, and the local Leftist Big Media are all ball-less whining idiots, and won't go for it.
Yet when you hear a crime being reported on the news he was 5’11 inches medium build wearing a hoody and going by the name of dakeeshan muhammed jefferson, guess who I am? Ski masks help the media where now they feel the pressure of having to inject a color can now comfortably report the crimes of the day without being racist, how nice
Me thinks some Baby Mamas gonna learn how to knit....
They’ll take my ski mask over my dead burka!!
High capacity ski mask
Registered ski mask
Illegal ski mask - it's BLACK!
A really frightening mask
Banning this sort of thing is dumb - which means our Dear Leaders will probably do just that.
Thirty five years ago, during extremely cold weather, I wore a black ski mask to work.
Several of the men said I looked too much like a Palestinian terrorist, so I had to go to a different color.
