And you heard illegal guns, I’m sure. I know the liberals don’t like to hear this, but, as we debate gun control and what to do, the truth is that if guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.

And I’m sure that the perpetrators of this shooting were in violation of numerous gun laws before they fired a shot at their victims. We can pass all the feel good laws in the world, but, the fact remains, the criminal element won’t abide by those laws anyway.

An AK47-type weapon reportedly was thrown from a green sedan that police chased through parts of D.C....

Maybe they don't know about ammunition.

The local news shows here in the wdc market feature local killings/violence for the first 15 minutes (including close-ups of blood on the street and bloody bandages) every day. ...what is new?!
