[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Washington Post has now run two days of fairly incredible reporting on the revolving door which is DC sentencing and rehabilitation guidelines for youth under 22, up to and including repeat crimes with guns and in rare instances murder. One of the most striking techniques is for prosecutors to willingly label real guns used to commit crimes (ie being held to peoples heads) as "imitation" to avoid automatic penalties.  Law abiding law enforcement trained DC residents are being turned down for concealed carry permits under our city's strict interpretation of gun laws, while these shannanigans are going on? [b]Where are the anti gun people on this?[/b] I think its a travesty and I'm for sensible gun laws including sentencing firmly those who use them to victimize.[/quote]

This anti-gun person is where I've always been and feel more strongly than ever: outlaw guns.

I feel no safer knowing some "law enforcement trained DC resident" may be sitting next to me on the Metro.

More afraid you're the guy who's going to shoot my son while he's on a jog around the neighborhood because you think he looks suspicious and you fear for your life.  [/quote]

But you're not raising an eyebrow over the criminal who robs you with a gun in DC and gets off?[/quote]
