9 Shot in D.C. Despite Gun Licensing, ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban, Magazine Ban
Breitbart ^ | 20 Sep 2019 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 09/20/2019 12:01:10 PM PDT by mplc51

Nine people were shot, two fatally, during a 30-minute time frame in Washington, DC, despite the district’s gun licensing requirement, “assault weapons” ban, and ban on “high capacity” magazines. WUSA9 reported that the incident occurred Thursday night, and consisted of “two men armed with AK-47 style weapons [firing] dozens of shots in the apartment courtyard on Columbia Road.” Gabby Giffords’ gun group, the Giffords Law Center, reported that in addition to an “assault weapons” ban, a “high capacity” magazine ban, and licensing requirements, the district also has a 10-day waiting period for gun purchases, a purchase limit of one handgun a month, and a ban on private gun sales, among other things.

That wouldn’t mean squat to even a poorly educated gun grabber and their standard response would be that it’s because they can get guns from other states so the only effective recourse is a total ban. Someone even gave that exact argument on the Tucker Carlson show last night.

none of that matters to the left- The ‘New Truth’ according to libs is that anything that looks like a dangerous weapon of war is a dangerous weapon of war and must be banned ASAP

I laugh at the gun grabbers arguments, like the dolt on Tucker last night. Their pat answer “Get rid of the loopholes”? Whatever that means.

For Dc? Virginia or maryland they might even vote NC or WV. Basically anywhere getting a gun is legal. That’s the loop hole and why DC is a sh!thole.

Get rid of the loopholes=Get rid of private ownership of firearms. And yet they won’t go after gangs and MS-13 types who commit most of the gun crimes in the first place.

A fully automatic AK-47, unless registered before a cutoff date in 1986, is illegal. However, semi-auto AK-47s are generally legal, depending on the state.

That guy was an idiot. If "loose gun laws" in Indiana are the reason for gun crimes in Chittycago, why aren't they killing each other in droves in Indiana?

Red flags would have prevented this. Or larger font on the “NO GUNS ALLOWED!” signs.

So the uncontrolled, Unlicensed, young democrats are out at play again ignoring any and all gun control laws like they always do.

Dems, criminals do not obey gun laws.

The FBI data on their online data base show specifically that young big city democrats do not follow gun control laws.

Do not blame your out of control democrats and their culture of homicide on the rest of our nation.

They need the gangs and mass shooters which gives them talking points to disarm the rest of us.

These stupid “gun grabbers” want to pass “FEEL-GOOD” laws that will be instantly and quietly obeyed by LAW ABIDING citizens. The grabbers will be very. very proud of themselves.
However the “bad guys” will continue to break every law know to the planet, and the “gun violence” will continue unabated.
The carnage, from city to city will not be stressed, but merely be a little item on page 24 or 30 seconds on TV. The slaughter by the “YUTES” will merely be “Too bad!”
Meanwhile, the “law obeying citizens” will be on their own, defenseless in their daily lives.

If they truly want to end these crimes let’s get very serious. We need a new law and need to follow through with it. Here’s the law: Mandatory death sentence for everyone who uses, has or insinuates they have a firearm. This death penalty does not have to be humane as these people have proven they’re not human. I suggest death by wood chopper feet first slowly televised.
