The way DC defined "Ghost Guns" is bizarre and by their definition there simply aren't any in the city. There simply aren't any DC corner men operating 3D printers in their basements with advanced polymers turning out untraceable weapons. Guns in this city come from Virginia for the most part and Maryland a little less (Just look at the transfer records of any weapons in DC involved in a crime). The sad truth is that DC will never really solve it's illegal gun issue until it works with VA and MD. Which it cannot even collect a traffic fine from a MD driver so I am not sure how the city will ever work with VA and MD sensible gun law officials. Illegal marijuana parties are large in the city. Whether you acknowledge the money and crime that follows marijuana or are too woke to assign a causality there, the cities MJ policy has done nothing to make its distribution within the city safer than it was and with social media, the parties attract people from a little wider area than before. |

| I never thought the crew members were printing them in the basement. I assume there's some OG out in VA who know somebody who does it, and then sell to crews. |

| More and more shootings. Carjackings from other thread apparently are out of control. We were supposed to go to DC for our anniversary and were going to go to a restaurant, which would have supported the DC economy. Might have to re-think it now with covid and crime raging out of control. |

I don't know that they've funded any treatment either. The MJ reform has been a big zero. |

You have got to be kidding me? Covid yes, carjackings as a reason not to go to a fancy restaurant downtown? No. |

Not PP but the one time someone tried to rob us was getting money from an ATM at a reasonable hour in gallery place, combined witb a dinner downtown. They didn't succeed, but it does happen. |

Charles Allen and Brianne Nadeau: "The shooter is the real victim here." |

What happened? I didnt hear about this  and yes, if the shooter was under 25 thats what the Charles Allen law enshrines. The jjudgewill.not be allowed to consider the nature of the crime when the perp comes up for early release.

The baby and the 11 year old boy killed in the summer have same grandparents. Unbelievable. |

There is something really narcissistic about his determination to be the guru of "reform", but closing his eyes to the impact of crime on victims and our city, as well as the challenges of safe policing (cutting 15 million from policing budget just cos'). This at the same time DC is pushing through opening the largest halfway house for released prisoners IN THE COUNTRY. Will they fund it, monitor it, have pathways to successful re-entry? Or will Allen just plop a bunch of early-release prisoners in the community and feel good about himself? |
