Really? So sick of this argument. I live in Baltimore City and let me tell you something I fully expect every news headline that I see at night to be a black on black crime when it comes to handguns. Why do I expect this? Because this is what the black community in certain parts of Baltimore (the parts always on the evening news) do, every single day ... and it is ALWAYS black on black. It's not that it doesn't move me, it's just that I can now expect it because it has become the norm. To argue this is not the case and that people do not become insensitive to situations based one exposure would be small minded on your part. I do not see whites or any other poc shooting each other on a daily or even monthly basis. The norm becomes expected in life. Deal with it and stop dismissing the reason why people like me have begun to role their eyes, just stop.



Good for the local Baltimore news outlets. I'm glad they do their job.

As someone who has hunted with a (single shot) rifle, 20 years ago I would have said the problem was that red-area hunters didn’t understand that blue-city people actually get killed by handguns, and blue-city people don’t understand that hunting doesn’t really make people less safe. The problem used to be a lack of understanding between communities.

Then the NRA turned into a fusion of rightwing billionaires who want votes for tax cuts (that’s why the Koches and similar give money to the NRA) along with gun corporations that want to increase profit by selling more guns.

Today, we’re up against much more than misunderstandings. We’re up against a well-financed conservative infrastructure that doesn’t care how many people die as long as they make more money — either by gun sales or tax cuts and deregulation.

I feel bad for the average NRA member. 40 years ago, the NRA was truly a gun safety organization. Some of its members still are that group. But today the NRA (and its funders) are literally a domestic terror organization.


I disagree. I live in DC and am happy with banning guns in DC. I also have access to a rural place where shooting for sport and hunting are part of the culture. I get both sides.

What I don't get, is the idea that there shouldn't be background checks, insurance and licensing for anyone wanting to own and operate a gun, just like a car.


Kindly explain to the best of your
I also don;t get why an AR-15 is needed under any circumstance other than mass killing of humans. One sure as heck wouldn't hunt with one.


Kindly explain, to the best of your ability, the material differences between an AR15 (which by the way cannot lawfully be owned in DC) and any other repeating rifle of your choice, elucidating, if you would, the reasons why you believe an AR15 is unsuited for hunting



OHHHHHHH! You’re trying to show off your superior knowledge of guns! Wow, how could anyone ever argue with THAT?! I mean, it’s not like kids lives are at stake or anything.


I have no time for gun-fetishist semantic BS arguments.

If you don’t like people saying “ban AR-15”s, then I’m happy to say “ban all semiautomatics”. Would that make you feel better in your argument in your own head?


You are a great example of why Liberals have lost the gun debate for years, despite evidence that changes are needed.

Did you enjoy DC more when the homicide rate was through the roof? You know, before the Heller decision.




No I did not.

This is all just distraction that shows a deep confusion about how statistics work.

Here’s the bottom line:
DC wants to regulate handguns to reduce violence. Republican judges, chosen by the Federalist Society and promoted by Republican billionaires, stopped DC from doing that.

In many cases the effects of Republican gun identity politics can be obfuscated.
But not here. If that man had a legal handgun, he was allowed to have it because of Heller. Because of Scalia and because of Roberts.

They did this. This poor woman would be more likely to be alive today without Scalia and the GOP justices.
I am angry at the GOP for this and so we all should be.
