Given The Drumbeat Of Gun-Control Prattle From The Left Lately…

…it’s almost reassuring to see that gun violence in Washington DC, which along with Chicago is the model city for gun control, is skyrocketing…:

Violent crime so far this year in the District has spiked sharply — a 40 percent increase that includes twice as many robberies at gunpoint than at this time last year.

Across the city, all police districts are reporting increases in violent crime, and all but one have had double-digit percentage increases, according to internal Metropolitan Police Department documents. The documents contained preliminary crime data for the city as of Thursday.

The crime rate is increasing this year after a downward trend — the number of reported homicides last year dropped to the lowest level in a half-century.

Homicides were the only category of violent crime to decline in the first six weeks this year. As of Thursday, the city had recorded 10 homicides compared with 11 at a similar point last year.

Overall, though, incidents of violent crime — homicides, sexual assaults, robberies and assaults with deadly weapons — are rising at an alarming pace.

…even as the Democrat orcs that govern our federal cesspool continue to stonewall the law-abiding gun owner and the defy post-Heller law of the land.

Democrats! The blood of all those innocent victims is on your hands!

  1. Always cheering for death and evil, eh wingnuts? Good news/bad news for you these days: Sure lots of black people in Washington are getting killed – which you like, apparently – but at the same time, the economy is improving, which makes it less likely the country will turn to fascism, contrary to your fondest hopes. 🙁

  2. AC warned you that if the Supreme Court allowed honest, law-abiding citizens to own guns, there would be BLOOD IN THE STREETS!
    Plainly, this is Conservatives’ fault.

    Obviously, there can be no robbery if the victim voluntarily donates his property quickly enough; there can be no rape if a woman consents quickly enough; there can be no murder if the intended victim commits suicide quickly enough. This is a totally needless increase in crime causes solely by non-criminals’ thoughtless insistence on resistance instead of appeasement. The solution is clear.

    Resisting a crime is itself a crime and must be punished vigorously.

  3. You know what they need in DC? They need a group of prosecutors and high-ranking police officials to stand shoulder-to-shoulder and state they are against criminals having guns. After all, this works so well with the other citizens.

  4. The City Council in DC has made it punitive to even apply for a Concealed Carry permit. Just to take the mandatory gun safety class, you have to pay over $400 in fees and then go to the Virginia suburbs to find a place where the class is offered. DC won’t allow gun safety classes in DC! If you can navigate through those hoops and pass all the background checks you can have a gun – in your home! You can’t transport it or have it on you when traveling about.

    When will these pie-in-the-sky, utopian socialists realize you can’t make evil go away by passing an ordinance?

  5. So how is Stop and Frisk working out for you in NYC clown? Are New Yorkers merely sheep who willingly give up the right to defend themselves so they must rely on Shepard Bloomberg to keep them safe by violating their other rights?

  6. They need a DC version of Guardian Angels like NYC had before Rudy took over. Of course this being DC they’d probably be unionized, have paid breaks, and not actually do anything. Kind of like the rest of DC…

    By the way AC were not rooting for people to die, we are simply pointing out the inconvinent fact that the two cities that have the strictest gun laws (for law-abiding citizens) also have some of the highest violent crime/murder rates. The scum of the Earth would much rather go after the unarmed than the armed or potentially armed. Also please tell me how the economy can continue to improve with gas reaching $4 a gallon (but of course that has nothing to do with Obama’s energy policies)? That’s an explaination I’d love to hear.

  7. When will these pie-in-the-sky, utopian socialists realize you can’t make evil go away by passing an ordinance?

    When they have a gun shoved in their face in a holdup. Of course if criminals were smart they’d never touch these people. They are their best friends.

    In the first place, people like you call those citizens “African-Americans”. And who said anything about them? Mitch didn’t, and neither did the article. The only one hustling race here is you.

    We also missed that part about the economy improving. Along with about 15.1 percent of the population listed by BLS as U-6 unemployed. Oh, and fascism? The definition is private ownership of the means of production under government control. Sorta sounds like your man Barack to us.

  9. Over at Powerline Hinderaker has a piece on Gallup showing unemployment on the increase.
    But nevermind that.
    At the end of the piece, Hinderaker writes:
    Yet, make no mistake–the liberal media will do everything possible to make this the conventional wisdom: the economy is improving, so that’s off the table. Let’s make the election about the social issues, killing bin Laden, and how nice it is to have an African-American president!
    This describes virtually all of AC’s posts since last May.

  10. angryclown paraphrased:

    “You are like Bull Connor and Hitler for wanting to arm law abiding citizens. Yay, the smrt people are in charge!”

    I hope the postage wasn’t too expensive on that comment, angryclown. 😉

  11. at least with the dumb people in charge we were feared around the world (instead of being laughed at) and had a lot higher employment rates. I miss having the dumb people in charge.

  12. When the dumb guys were in charge unemployment averaged a little over 5% and deficits never exceeded a trillion bucks. Also taxes were cut.

  13. Yeah, Ben Dover. Feared like the subway psycho getting his marching orders from Venus. You never know who he’ll attack. Bin Laden’s behind the 9/11 attacks, you loonies push Iraq in front of the train.

  14. And when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, FDR attacked Hitler. So FDR was a closet wing-nut? Who knew?

  15. AC, yea because there wasn’t any connections between Saddam and Osama… I kindly ask you if you are going to continue to insult me can you at least be more creative? Seriously the last time anyone said that to my face was in like 6th grade and even then I was like, that’s the best you can do? C’mon, stop being a one trick pony and find a new way to insult me.
