[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain why the principal didn’t mention gun violence? Is it a legal thing?[/quote] It’s a woke thing. [/quote] FFS. I cannot let this slide. The GOP , starting with McCain, has routinely overridden DC voters’ efforts to restrict guns. In fact this past December the TRUMP’s Justice Dept challenged laws aimed at popular rifles including the AR-15 in the nation's capital. So, woke people’s anti-gun work is routinely overruled by violent MAGA. NP. [/quote] Woke people's anti-gun work is a joke and is all just to make the wokes feel good and pat themselves on the back. And I am certainly not MAGA. DC has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. All firearms have to be registered with MPD. No magazines over 10 rounds. So-called "assault weapons" (and "assault pistols" and "assault" shotguns) are banned. Pistols can only be purchased if they are on the CA/MD/MA rosters. What DC really has though is some of the weakest enforcement of those laws in the country. MPD used to publish their weekly/monthly gun recoveries. If you looked up the names of those who were arrested you'd see a continual pattern of arrests for weapons and drug charges all of which get dropped. Here's a handy link for you to actually educate yourself rather than go by feelz "[url]https://www.congress.gov/118/meeting/house/117383/documents/HHRG-118-JU00-20240604-SD022.pdf.[/url]" Last week the DC Sentencing Commission released their Annual Report, which is one of our only data sources for what happens to cases after police make an arrest. Without this data we would never know that 79% of adults arrested with illegal guns in DC get away without any felony conviction. More than 2,000 gun cases over the last two years were either never prosecuted, dropped or pled down to lesser charges without any public scrutiny of DCʼs prosecutor. This report (and similar excellent analyses by the Commissionʼs staff) are crucial for understanding how prosecutors and judges apply the laws on the books and getting beyond the vibes-based spin that dominates DC crime discourse." MD implemented stricter laws in 2013. And VA has now gone full woke. But none of that matters because "wokes" keep doubling down and make things 30x more illegal and never actually deal with the problem which is the criminals actually doing the crimes. [/quote]
