And yet you voted for this government, again and again. Over and over, as if she will every change.

I voted with my feet and moved to MD. I won't say it's rosy here, but at least it's better than DC when it comes to crime.

So, it's not your government then? Not sure why you felt the need to post. DP

What should they do? Round up all the young black men?

Dumb. Keep your head in the sand.

Actually, the government is following the will of the people. Those people wanted fewer police and softer penalties for violent criminals. Remember, we'd rather have many, many, many black lives die in gun violence than have a tiny, tiny, tiny number of black people die from unprovoked police brutality . . . . because only black lives that die from unprovoked police brutality matter.

No the government has been going against the will of the people. People want the guns off the street but republicans make sure that will never happen. This is years of republican policies that are soft on criminals and remove all accountability for police to actually do their job.

Nailed it.

How about taking guns away from anyone with a criminal record?

How about educating yourself? Felons already prohibited from possessing firearms. It is a federal offense.

This is not about guns honey, if you think you can remove every gun from every criminal or person who wants to do something like this, you are insane. Look at all the school shootings in gun free zones. This is so much bigger than guns, it's a societal, cultural problem that is becoming the norm. Less policing and presence has had an obvious negative impact on the quality of life in this city.

Honey, other countries have done it.

No, they actually haven’t. Even homogenous Japan, with a long history of denying weapons to anyone but the ruling class, has firearm crime. England has firearm crime despite weapon control laws that border on the preposterous — going after kitchen scissors. France has very strict weapon laws, and they did nothing to prevent terrorist attacks with machine guns and bombs.

Well, they’re just being prudent. It’s well known that Canada has no murders, assaults, rapes or other serious crime and is an absolute paradise.

Low information voter. The DC council is voting to reduce the penalty for carrying illegal guns in DC.

Do you not follow the news at all?

If that’s the case, why are the perpetrators of inner city gun violence largely Democrat voters?

Bowser is talking veto. I think that's the right move. Violent crime and gun crime needs to be deterred.

I’m glad she will veto this bill.

And the DC council - the people YOU voted for - have already announced they will override her veto.

The new criminal code, with it’s further reduced penalties for violent crime, WILL become law. Because the people you elected want it so.

Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for any of them. This is on you.

It’s important to note that this “reform” has been cheered on by local reporters who are supposed to be neutral but cannot seem to get their ideology out of the way of their reporting.
