Here Comes the Assault Weapons Ban Again

"I believe it was a AK-47 that just let loose."



The police chief made an interesting comment.

"We've made a lot of progress to stop gang retaliation and violence, and in the end if this ends up being some kind of gang retaliation -- then shame on all of us."


What's your opinion? Is Chief Lanier's remark a bit like the shared responsibility I'm always talking about? We have to do more to prevent these incidents and if we don't we share in the responsibility. It seems pretty simple.

Please leave a comment.

  1. And they just legalized AK-47s in DC. Apparently, this is the blood in the streets the Brady's promised us.


    Ha! April Fools.

    But seriously, how do you ban something that's already banned? Or is the plan to ban them across the whole country and hope the criminals play by the honor system like in Mexico?

    Quite right MikeB. I think D.C. should ban guns. That always helps.

  3. Impossible! AK's are illegal in DC, as is carrying in public, not to mention discharge of a firearm and murder........
