[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guns are banned in dc. Even if guns were federally banned accross the country, these incidents would still occur. And even if it wasn’t a gun they would use a knife to work out their street beefs [/quote]

The DC gun ban law was ruled unconstitutional years ago. You can have guns they just must be registered. NOT that criminals follow the law at all. [/quote]

And Virginia has very loose gun laws. [/quote]

And the astronomical crime rate in Virginia reflects that, too! There was a shooting at the Rolex store in Tyson’s mall on Saturday FFS! VA has FAR more shootings and murders than DC. [/quote]

There was a gun discharged at Tysons on Saturday by a DC criminal, but a murder on U Street with several others wounded over the weekend.  NoVa is far safer than DC.   [/quote]

Virginia lets anyone buy and carry a gun. It is NOT safer than DC and the statistics plainly show that. There are far more shootings in Virginia than DC. Look it up. [/quote]

I looked at the CDC to compare gun death statistics in the state of Virginia and DC. But DC was not listed.  Fifty states only.[/quote]

Virginia’s are far higher. That’s all you need to know. [/quote]

If you seriously think Virginia's murder rate by firearm (or any other method, for that matter) is higher than DC, I don't know what to tell you.  If your argument is the total number of homicides by firearm is higher in Virginia, a state with 8.5 million people, than in DC, you clearly failed 7th grade math class. [/quote]
