Since you are so “concerned” I hope you are pushing hard for:
Comprehensive background checks for private sales in DC, MD, VA.
Strict licensing & audits for gun dealers in DC, MD, VA.
Enforce lost & stolen gun reporting laws in DC, MD, VA.
Firearm registration in DC, MD, VA.
Permit to purchase in DC, MD, VA.
Gun buyback programs in DC, MD, VA.
In addition to revitalizing & rebuilding communities - education, jobs, healthcare, support for at-risk youth, etc.
DP. Stop being ridiculous. Who wouldn’t be concerned by increased gun violence? If you’re not, I’d love for you to explain your reasoning.
“Increased”? Are you new to DC?
I am concerned about decades of gun violence and I do push for common sense gun laws. You support those, right?
“Common sense.” Another marketing label for punishing decent people because criminals misuse firearms, just like they misuse vehicles, baggies, scales and all sorts of other things. Do you have any idea how many gun laws DC already has? Why should people outside DC (or even decent people inside DC) be penalized, impeded n the exercise of an enumerated civil right, and deprived of their choice of recreation and an efficacious means of self defense because criminals in DC won’t obey the law and DC won’t use the tools it has available, including federal “exile” programs for felons who unlawfully possess firearms? When has “registration” (already required in DC) ever solved a crime? When did purchase permits (already required in MD and DC) ever stop criminals from getting guns. Tons of illegally manufactured, illegally imported, illegally possessed and illegally sold drugs pass through DC streets every year. How has that prohibition worked out?
You aren’t losing any rights going through a background check. GMAFB.
No, you GMAFB. DC law ALREADY prohibits private sales, already requires background checks, and already requires registration. Have you even tried to find that out before running your (figurative) yap about something you know nothing about?
How many prohibited persons has DC caught in the last five years via background check unlawfully attempting to buy firearms? How many have been prosecuted? How many went away federally for the potential ten years?
Obviously not enough.
So then you aren’t impacted. Why are you complaining?
Here is what I’d like to see to bring down gun violence in the DC area.
Comprehensive background checks for private sales in DC, MD, VA.
Strict licensing & audits for gun dealers in DC, MD, VA.
Enforce lost & stolen gun reporting laws in DC, MD, VA.
Firearm registration in DC, MD, VA.
Permit to purchase in DC, MD, VA.
Gun buyback programs in DC, MD, VA.
Why should people in other jurisdictions be penalized because DC won’t enforce either it’s own laws or federal laws?
Interstate sales of firearms other than through a federally licensed dealer are already prohibited by federal law.
What is a “comprehensive” background check? Do you know that MD and DC already have background check laws?
Lost and stolen gun reporting. Great idea! Punish theft victims! Because knowing immediately that a gun has been stolen will magically render it instantly recoverable.
Strict licensing and audits for gun dealers. Do you have any conception what it takes to have and maintain a federal (and local) firearms dealer license? Do you have any idea how often and in what depth both federal and state authorities already inspect and audit gun dealers? And by the way, there are NO licensed gun dealers in DC.
Firearm registration. Already required in MD and DC. Effectively required for all dealer sales anyway under federal law.
Permit to purchase. DC and MD have had this for years.
Gun “buybacks.” Proven to be a silly, pointless, financially wasteful program. Also defies logic, since the government cannot buy back what it never owned.
The idea that completely unknowledgeable people have anything meaningful to say when they parrot back the talking points of advocacy groups really is ridiculous. The vast majority of all your brilliant “solutions” are already in place.
You know what’s not in place? Any meaningful effort to arrest people who unlawfully own and misuse firearms and imprison them long enough that they aren’t a hazard when, or if, they’re released.
+1
It is refreshing to see someone who knows what they're talking about in this arena.

Private sales are illegal and all firearms transactions must fo through an FFL. Please elaborate on the private sales your are referring too, and don't embarrass yourself by saying gun shows.
Gun dealers already require a license, and are subject to strict audits by the ATF. These audits are very comprehensive and can take weeks to complete as 4-5 agents are digging through tens of thousands of 4473s that you are required to keep on hand for 20 years.
I’ll bet an extra $50 under the table to the gun dealer will by-pass all that paperwork and forms and background checks you seem to think are some kind of safeguard against illegal gun sales. These dealers probably make more money selling guns out the back door than they do out the front door.
LMAO! Try it and see where this gets you. You clearly don't understand how FFLs work.

What a preposterous, unfounded assertion! What a display of absolute, unadulterated, overpowering ignorance!
Every firearm that comes into a dealer is recorded. It’s disposition is recorded. Dealers, and their records, are regularly inspected. What dealer in their right mind would risk prison, let alone their livelihood for “an extra $50 under the table?”
And if you think dealers are going to violate the law, what on earth could possibly suggest to you that criminals will.

You sound absurdly naive. There is strong evidence of increased gun violence. Tons of it involves guns that the perpetrators aren’t legally permitted to have. You can enact all the gun control laws imaginable (most of which I support), and it won’t make a difference if you don’t put the violators of those laws in jail.
Sure. I included “enforce” gun reporting law.

Why MPDC doesn't take lost or stolen guns is beyond me. That is another case of laws that already exist, but are not being enforced.
Good luck with firearms registration, something tells me that is never going to happen.
Permit to purchase might work if you included a permit to carry with it and you abolished the current background check system (Feds are not going to do that). Going through a FBI background check (NICS) then separately applying for my concealed carry seems like enough though. Adding a permit to buy seems like an additional loophole that might disproportionately affect certain groups. Unless the point of the permit is to bypass the background check, this would be a waste of time.
Gun buyback programs are interesting, but you are not getting guns out of the hands of criminals by offering them $50-$200. You are getting old (many non functioning) firearms that have been collecting dust in grandmas attic. It is also pretty easy to take advantage of gun buy back programs. You can make a $25 zip gun and turn it in for profit, not to mention all the polymer stuff you can do these days in the confines of your own garage.

I am concerned about decades of gun violence and I do push for common sense gun laws. You support those, right?
