And so have the police. That is why we have so much crime in our city. Because you can get away with it so easily.

Make up your mind are the evil criminals responsible for all the crime or are the incompetent cops?

Who’s responsible for all these damn guns out here?

I used to be very strongly against firearms, but the older I get, the more I see the real issue. Legal guns aren't the big problem. The vast majority of crimes aren't committed with legal firearms. Illegal guns are the big problem. Unfortunately most cities don't lock people up for long when they're caught with an illegal gun, and the recent "bail reform" is making things even worse. We need to get people off the street who are using (and demanding) illegal guns. The only way to do that is to lock them up for a long time.

I honestly think that if democrats supported enforcing the gun laws that we already have, we would be able to get the republican support to overturn the second amendment IF guns were still a big problem. But it won't happen until we start enforcing the laws we already have.

Ban all the guns, every last one of them, and this stuff won’t happen. If guns are banned, people won’t have them.

Just like we’ve banned narcotics??? I’d gladly support a repeal of the 2nd Amendment if we could ensure guns would disappear but criminals will always find a way to stock up.

Why are the cops incompetent. They are just following directions. They did not ask to get rid of their auto theft task force. They did not tell the city council to attempt to categorize most crime as property crime and then it simply does not count.

The cops are doing what we pay them to do. This is exactly what Grosso wanted.

All the evidence coming out of countries where guns are banned tells you otherwise. But hey, people don't believe in facts anymore, so, go on, vote for Benedict Donald and live in fear.

There have been 10 deadly shootings in DC over the last week. Two men were killed today in Brookland (NE) at 2 PM - broad daylight.

People who bought in the District never expecting a downturn are going to have some tough decisions to make. It is not safe in the District right now.

Any traction on solving any of these crimes?

[Anonymous]

Yeah, but defund the police!!!

What a bunch of idiots.

Concerned that your house in Bethesda hasn't appreciated as much as you hoped?

It’s perfectly safe in most of the District, including in the neighborhoods where the shootings this thread was originally about occurred. A handful of shootings does not mean your life is in danger. (Signed, someone who lives a few blocks from the homicide location on Western and heard all the shots.)

Yes. Not dangerous. Tell that to the VaTech grad gunned down at the Shell station. So sorry you are dead and were senselessly gunned down filling your car up, but you should have known better than doing that in the dark. So this is on you, because it is not a dangerous city.

The odds of being run over by someone driving a car are much higher. I don't need to live in fear if being shot.
