[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someday you DC residents need to quit blaming others for your problems and take control of the elements that you CAN control. You can districtsplain to VA until you turn purple that they should change gun laws to help YOU (news flash - VA has wayyy less crime than neighboring counties in MD and DC) but why would they do that? At the end of the day, you're not going to win on the gun front so you might as well enforce your own laws in your own city - but I guess it's easier to whine and cry than actually take any productive action. 🤷[/quote]

This is more about how I vote in federal elections. I do think DC should both prosecute local criminals and keep violent offenders in jail, but also think it's important to highlight how lax gun laws contribute to crimes everywhere.

Given some degree of city exodus to the burbs (will be my family moving in a couple years) after the pandemic and generally more widespread dispersion of population from cities to exurbs with the new world of more virtual or hybrid work, younger generations more likely to vote than in the past and growing up with mass shooting drills/scares, we WILL see better gun laws eventually, but no, not in the near future[/quote]
