D.C. passes gun law, but House looms

The socialist pigs just don't get it. Their open and disgusting contempt for the peasants is all too typical of elitist liberals, 99% of whom are flat out brain dead. The truth is that they want criminals on the streets, and they want the criminals to be armed, thus to cause the stinking peasants to be forced to live in abject FEAR because they are forbidden from defending themselves. Of course such tactics help to keep the leftist elite in power.

The following statement from the above article illustrates the absolute idiocy with which the DC government has approached this issue. "However, the law still caps magazine capacity at 10 rounds in an effort to ensure that criminals won't have greater firepower than police do." The DC government, including any law enforcement official who signed up to support it, knows fully well that criminals do not obey the law, by definition. No amount of regulation of firearms, magazine capacities, et al, will affect what criminals do. It will affect only those who strive to obey such laws, that is, the law abiding citizens who must defend their homes and families in spite of the duplicity created by the DC government and E.H. Norton. Shame on the DC government and the law enforcement lackeys that are posturing for for such stupidity.

I see the victim disarmement groups are still pushing hard, they aren't afraid of the armed criminal and don't care about the poor victims. What they are afraid of is the honest citizens starting to take care of themselves once people start relying on themselves and not on government the leftwing elitists are finished.

"However, the law still caps magazine capacity at 10 rounds in an effort to ensure that criminals won't have greater firepower than police do." But it doesn't bother them that criminals have more firepower than the victims? They are far more concerned with the police than the citizens? Good GOD! This is the CAPITOL of our COUNTRY! The place where every freedom should be honored, cherished, and respected... but in fact, it is the one place where the city council routinely restricts civil rights and the one city that flips off EVEN the supreme court itself! They have no more respect for the supreme court than they do the poor victims that are robbed at a rate of as many as 30-50 people a DAY! Our Capitol is showing the same corruption that once made chicago the gangster capitol of the US. Eleanor Holmes Norton, last night, made it VERY clear that her protections and the protections of her office applied to the criminals and NOT the citizens at large. The mayor has also shown that. Adn if you have not noticed, the people that are screaming the loudest, are also people that have criminals in their families. Now just WHO are you trying to protect?

How are law abiding citizens of D.C. supposed to arm themselves if there are no gun stores allowed in D.C.?? It is like giving someone a drivers license and saying you can get a car only in your county and drive it now with your new drivers license...oh by the way, we banned all car dealerships in the county and you cannot bring in cars from another county as this is prohibited by the state. PLUS you cannot simply buy a car from a neighbor, even if he has one, since we have no rules in place, such as licensing bureaus for that either. This is what having rights to own handguns and defend yourself is like if there are no places to buy handguns for your home. Without legal gun shops in D.C. or without the bill to allow the residents to buy from neighboring states, it's still a moot law. No criminal obeys the law or boundary of states. what CAN be acquired elsewhere will be illegally carried by criminals in D.C. ... already has, and probably will again. Chief of Police is worried that crime might drop and prove how very wrong they were all these years, and the extra tax burden for police staffing could have been avoided, along with needless victims from murder and other violent crime. Truth hurts. When seconds count police are only minutes away.

The would be DC ban on semi auto pistols as opposed to revolvers reveals the distorted,disfunctional mindset of city officials who can't or won't deal with criminal behavior within their jurisdictions. They focus on catch phraises and emotionally charged terminology instead of questioning the liberal social policies that have predisposed generations to illegitimacy ,hopeless dependency and criminal behavior . Regarding the guns, I would think the buffoonish DC administration would have a preference for a Mod. 1911 Colt with its three safety mechanisms, ejected casings which are forensically useful in criminal investigations, and a sound on chambering a round that would cause an intruding crackhead thug to turn white. In their present CYA mode, Fenty and Co.,know that when DC residents actually become armed in meaningful numbers, violent crime will decline. They then will be called upon by crime victims and their families to explain why law abiding people were illegally constrained from having the means at hand to defend themselves. I believe that this accounts at least in part, for their obstructionism.

"However, the law still caps magazine capacity at 10 rounds in an effort to ensure that criminals won't have greater firepower than police do." So before, 12 rounds was bad and now 10? Looks like Fenty and Lanier lick their finger, place it in the air and come up with whatever number is in their head at the time. The quote is obviously from the author. My question to you is, do you really believe criminals are reading the law and saying "geee, better not load my clip with more than 10 rounds!"? How idiotic is that? How long have criminals been thumbing their nose at handgun laws in DC? Since their inception. No one with half a brain can possibly tell me with a straight face they actually believe criminals are going to follow ANY laws they create. Hell, even Marion Barry couldn't do that!

It's amazing how concerned the D.C. council is for just two groups--criminals and cops. Ordinary citizens, the ones for whom the 2nd Amendment was written, get short shrift from these arrogant SOBs. None of the communities surrounding D.C. have to suffer under the draconian restrictions of their 2nd Amendment rights that are imposed on D.C. residents. And none of those neighboring communities suffer under the violent crime rate of D.C., either. Even with the newly passed "temporary" regulations D.C.'s gun laws are among the most restrictive in the country, especially when one considers how Chief Lanier's department will enforce and stall any attempted registrations by citizens. Registration itself is a violation of the rights under the 2nd Amendment and it's absolutely disgusting the way our nation's capitol, our capitol for heaven's sake, is at the forefront of violating those rights.
