[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it still a federal crime to carry a firearm within 1000 feet if a school? Shouldn’t the perps face that federal charge in addition to any DC criminal law charges? [/quote] Most crimes in DC are already prosecuted by the US Attorney regardless. Carrying a gun in a school zone is probably a sentence enhancement to the attempted murder and conspiracy charges that the 4 arrested will certainly face. So these dummies are in big trouble no matter what.[/quote] It's true that the US Attorney prosecutes violations of DC criminal law. But if there's a federal crime committed, they also have the ability to charge that. That can carry more jail time. It would be interesting to know if federal law is as lenient with a "juvenile" charged with a violent crime as is DC law. [/quote]
