Here’s hoping the cops aim well and end this quickly, since D.C.’s gun control laws don’t allow the citizens to.
Time for martial law to keep everyone safe.
It is my understanding that DC has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation. I’m sure there are also gun free zones in the area of this purported shooting. I can only surmise that this whole story is either fallacious or happening in a different area.
Used to be the toughest. SCOTUS spanked them. Not sure what they’ve repealed to date. Probably nothing, but technically speaking….
They spanked DC but DC still has tricks (and lawsuits) up their sleeves. DC is still very heavily regulated as far as gun ownership and use is concerned.
You have to consider the laws of VA and MD. They surround DC and if there weren’t signs you would hardly know you are going from one to the other.
Which is why the gun control faction is trying to pass legislation at the Federal level to bring all states into the fold, they have tried doing the state to state thing and that is slow work and not as effective as the recent recall in Colorado shows in a small way.
Hard to say. That’s a toss-up between Chicago and D.C.

Both of these were ruled in favor of gun rights, as both laws questioned instituted what was essentially a handgun ban, thus infringing on one’s right to “keep and bear arms.” Both were 5-4 decisions, which illustrates the unfortunate fact that the Second Amendment is not necessarily free from danger. I mean, these were cold cut cases where the law was in direct opposition to the Constitution.
The decisions/opinions on these two cases are good reads if you’re into that sort of stuff.
