DC needs to start supporting law-abiding citizens, not criminals

[Washington Examiner] Our nation’s capital is experiencing a wave of violent crime this year. Compared to 2022 , there has been a 54% increase in robberies, an 18% increase in homicides, and a 6% increase in assaults with a deadly weapon. There have been numerous murders of young people, predominantly occurring with firearms , with seemingly no end in sight.
Damn White supremacists!
How could this be when the District of Columbia has some of the nation’s strictest gun laws in the nation?

The anti-gun lobby constantly tells the public that more gun control laws will stop violent crime. But their intentionally vague call to "do something" almost always includes restrictive policy proposals that make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to purchase a firearm or carry it in public for self-defense. The District of Columbia government has already implemented many of these laws — before the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision last year, which affirmed the constitutional right to carry a firearm in public, it had been nearly impossible to obtain a concealed carry permit in the District — and clearly, they are not lowering violent crime rates in any capacity.
