The law prohibits murder. Criminals still kill people. The laws there prohibit guns. Criminals still have guns. Why? Because they’re criminals.

Does this seem like a good thing to you? Do you think that leaving law abiding citizens defenseless against criminals is a good idea?

This is why we have the police. Criminals will always be around creating crimes and breaking the law. That’s inevitable!

Common sense gun laws?? Do some research on Obama’s voting record on guns and gun owners. He voted (on a specific case) in IL to make a man’s defense of his home with a legally owned and registered firearm illegal, yet the law passed overwhelmingly to support the man’s actions and make them legal. Yeah, he’s a real friend of gun owners.

We are talking about DC, not IL or how much he loves guns and gun owners.

I just think there are a lot of people that vote based on 1 issue vs. many issues at hand with the government, like the economy which I care much more about then guns.

Yes, I own a gun, before someone jumps down my throat. Yes, this is a very tough issue, because there are 2 very rational sides to the story, but in a massive metropolis like DC I don’t think people really need guns, any more then already exist there, legally or not.
