[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are legal gun owners in the District. I am all for gun control, checks, heck Is be happy with random.stop and frisk of people and vehicles. It's very difficult to get a permit carry in the District. I very much doubt that if legal guns are being employed in these shootings, that the carry permits have also been securedm why not support measures to enforce existing law? When gun are used in crimes in DC, the AG allows for them to be routinely pled away. Why not focus your outrage on that? [/quote]

+1. The problem is not so much with the gun laws. Most of the criminals are already using guns for their crimes that they aren’t legally permitted to have. [/quote]

The problem is that the gun laws are not good enough. People buy these guns, legally, from stores for this purpose and are not held accountable. Having an assault rifle could require a license and insurance, and the insurance market could help regulate who has them. We could make the bullets traceable to the gun. We could have laws holding the straw purchaser accountable. But we can’t, because a bunch of idiots have Rambo fantasies as if their AR-15 would make an ounce of difference should they end up on the wrong side of the world’s most expensive military or even their local police who probably have a surplus tank.

So, because gun laws are not being enforced by prosecutors and the courts, we should have more laws?
Some crazy reasoning there.  [/quote]
