DC has a lot of residents who want to virtue signal AND have the very highest "quality of life". This past year has been challenging for them .

Not wanting schoolchildren to be randomly gunned down is the very highest of QOL?! Do you live in a video game?!

Not wanting to get robbed and killed by 13 year old kids on the metro is a bigger concern to me right now.

Congress has blocked DC from having gun control. So, really, not an option for us.

Are you kidding? DC has some of the most stringent anti-gun laws in the country.

Among those that appear to have been violated here:

1. Possession of firearm by a minor;
2. Possession of ammunition by a minor;
3. Unregistered handgun;
4. Unregistered ammunition;
5. Carrying pistol without license;
6. Firearm on Metro property;
7. Unlawful discharge of firearm;
8. Reckless endangerment;
9. Various laws against shooting someone (malicious wounding, attempted murder; murder; conspiracy, etc).

So profiling. Nice.

Just make them random stops w/o specific profile. But you'd rather protect violent criminals and have children shot dead on the train. Very nice.

I don’t get why people on this board are always hinting at the tension between liberty/fairness and authoritarianism/public safety like it’s a secret that they’re pointing out. Or the idea that cultural homogeneity is a factor. It’s basically the central tension and challenge of government. It’s the basis of a huge chunk of literature and art. It continues to be a cause of our international wars and long term conflicts as well as a lot of our domestic strife.

If you’re sitting at your keyboard thinking everyone who disagrees with you on policy is just an idiot who doesn’t see the obvious, that should be a big red flag to you about your own perspective. But here you are, sitting there thinking you’re just the only person who’s ever thought about it and everyone else in the city who sees it differently must just be stupid.

Why do you think this would help? Most of these wayward kids are born to parents who didn’t want them and aren’t equipped to parent effectively. What we should do is focus on making birth control easily and freely available to low-income women.

Hey genius. Birth control, abortion etc are all readily available right now in DC. How is that making a bit a difference RIGHT NOW.

You think checking for illegal guns when entering the metro is “profiling?” Why, pray tell?
