The problem are criminals commit crimes at obscene rates. Lock up the criminals and watch crime drop. It's so simple everyone smarter than Fox Butterfield can understand.

Agree.

It’s nearly impossible to legally own a gun in DC. You cannot even buy a gun in DC; there are ZERO stores. Yet there were nearly 1,000 violent carjackings and plenty of violence (including that committed with illegally-owned guns) in DC.

What DC refuses to do is enforce its own laws or prosecute anyone for any crime - even violent crime.

DC’s laws are so dystopian that anyone age 26 and under is legally a “youthful offender” subject to, at most, probation, and released same-day to the custody of his parents (wait - there are no parents), even when the “youthful offender murders or maims someone.

All because supposedly “26 year olds and under have brains which are not fully developed” (so George Allen claims), but at the same time, DC thinks the voting age should be lowered to 16.

Sorry DC, your laws are devoid of logic and make no sense.

And how do you handle the mentally ill slaughtering classrooms of children? Six year-olds watching their friends explode while waiting for their turn?

I worry about the far bigger problem of mass shootings in inner cities. You only value some lives because it is politically convenient for you.

You can't fix every tragedy. You start with the low-hanging fruit. You also publicly hang every police officer who obstructed families from rescuing their children, including the elected officials who authorized such behavior. The cowardice should have been harshly punished.

But you completely ignore the real problem so I doubt you're intellectually consistent.

*crickets*

Gun lovers love to say "we don't have a gun problem, we have a mental health problem" yet when you then press them to deal with the mental health problem they slink out of the room. Or, "guns don't kill people, people kill people" yet when you want to make it harder for the people who kill people to get guns they start whining.

Bring back the mental hospitals.

They don't mean to actually do anything about mental health. The game is to just talk about it. It's like building a wall or instituting a better health insurance plan or denying that climate change exists. All the country will ever get is a bunch of empty words.

Not only this but we need to make it easier to commit people who are a danger to themselves or others.

+1. They were banned before and should be banned again. It was fine.

+2. There should be another ban. I have yet to see any demonstration of real harm that befell anyone as a result of the AWB.

Being deprived of your human rights is a pretty serious harm.

Get over it. The left needs to pay off enough SCOTUS justices and poof...2A will all of a sudden mean something very different.

A court decision would be toothless when it comes to prying guns out of people’s hands. Your dream is just that. Will never happen.
