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.

And Virginia has very loose gun laws.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Virginia’s are far higher. That’s all you need to know.

According to John's Hopkins:

Firearm homicide rate in DC; 16 per 100,000
In Virginia, 4 per 100,000, with Arlington, Fairfax, and Alexandria having the lowest rate
In Maryland, 8 per 100,000 with Montgomery being the lowest

DC is not a state; it's a city. Apples/oranges.

Seriously. The more accurate comparison would be DC vs. Virginia Beach (70K vs. 450K residents) or DC vs. Arlington/Alexandria/McLean/Annandale/Fairfax/etc (700K vs. 500K)

If you want to compare cities, then DC has fewer gun homicides than St Louis, Baltimore, or Richmond.

Does that make you feel better? Is that the best that we can do?

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.

And the shooter? Did he also never have a chance?

No collateral damage in a knife fight

Not too mention that stabbings are only very rarely fatal. Compare that to shootings, which are nearly always fatal.

I hope they start tracking non fatal shootings too. Many, many more of those, and they also have tragic consequences.
