The writer can not purchase a Glock 19 in Washington DC, yet Washington DC still has a higher firearms homicide rate than any state in the US — 31.2/100,000.

Yup. The WashCompost raises a fuss about AZ’s allegedly “weak” gun laws but never bothers to point out despite the fact private gun ownership has been banned since 1976 in the nation’s capital, homicides have been breaking records ever since. A disarmed populace is easier to terrorize and kill than one that can protect itself.

But this wouldn’t serve its anti-gun ideology, so its goes unmentioned in its vicious attack on AZ’s affirmation of the fundamental 2nd Amendment right the residents of the nation’s capital still don’t have.

Take away gun rights, only leaves the criminals with guns.

Eighty two year old man in Fla. defends home with gun. Intruder dies shortly after the attack with gun shot to head.
Fla. has right to conceal and carry.
