Still, homicides are a fraction of when Reagan was in office.

He said that along with focusing on pulling illegal firearms off the streets, the city needs to re-examine the penalties for carrying illegal weapons.

“I also think we need to take a strong look at what the consequences are for carrying an illegal firearm and make sure those penalties are significant enough where we’re having an impact,” he said.

The minimum sentence in D.C. for a felon with a firearm is a year in prison. It is two years for other unlawful forms of firearm possession.

Guns are illegal yet kill people in DC. Why do libs think banning guns will equal less crime?


Guns are not “illegal” in DC. Nice try.

Maybe if the Courts weren't a revolving door, MPD can arrest these repeat offenders all day long and none of it will matter of the courts don't do anything to them. The Juvenile system in particular is a sad pathetic joke of a system where the idea of holding offenders accountable is pretty much non-existent.

Not sure what hat you mean. DC stands for “Do Crime?”

Can't wait for our first white, Latino, Asian or Jewish Mayor.


I am more interested in DC having an effective, competent Mayor. Like Mayor Williams was.

Trayon White will be mayor before any of those.

Unfortunately, in DC this is the truth. DC residents are about status quo and maintaining an old guard establishment. Progression, thinking outside of the box, and something new is not what DC residents will vote for. Trayvon White will probably beat Bowser in a race. I don't think non natives of DC realize the type of dysfunction that this city embraces. The fact that he is popular and that people adore him is beyond scary. However, this is DC that we are talking about. The day DC residents vote for a white or Jewish mayor you know that the end of times is here. A Latino might have a chance, but a white person or a Jewish mayor in DC will never happen in my life time. The demographic that yields power in DC will rather burn the city down than to allow new blood in the mayoral seat.

I rode my bike from Virginia into DC this AM, across the 14th Street Bridge. Apparently the gun inspector was taking the morning off, as I was not stopped and patted down.

Do you actually live in this region?
