[quote=Anonymous]I think the partisan rhetoric is obscuring the actual issue here. There are Republican-controlled cities that are doing well with crime, and those that are doing poorly. There are Democratic-controlled cities that are doing well with crime and those that are doing poorly. In each case, the roots of the poor performance may be political (unfettered access to weapons on one hand, absolute lack of consequences for offenders on the other) but what matters is the results. In this case, we are talking about the District of Columbia, which is doing *very very poorly.* For those of us that live and work in DC, it doesn't really matter whether the Mayor and City Council's objection to enforcing the law is ideological. It matters that it is impacting the safety of the citizens. [/quote]
