Bloomberg Offers Biased Take on Challenge to D.C. Gun Laws
With a headline such as “Gun Owners in Washington Seek to Weaken City’s Restrictions in U.S. Appeal” is anymore evidence needed that the story from Bloomberg probably has an anti-gun agenda? The article even describes what residents in the nation’s capitol must go through to own a gun:
“Washington requires residents who want to keep a gun at home for self defense to be fingerprinted and photographed by police, provide a five-year work history, and note their intended use of the weapon, among other regulations. Residents must register every firearm they own and firearms defined by the city as assault weapons are also restricted.”
Seriously, a five-year work history? And we like the point about “defined by the city.” Well, that wouldn’t be vague or unfair would it?
AP Shows Bias in Recent Voting Rights Bill for DC
In 2008 the Supreme Court ruled that the District of Columbia’s draconian gun laws infringed on citizen’s 2nd Amendment Rights. Two years later, DC has done nothing to comply with the ruling. In a recent House of Representatives bill that would give DC two voting House seats, an amendment was attached that would force DC to revise its gun laws to comply with the Supreme Court ruling. The bill was killed and no vote will take place so DC can continue to infringe on citizen’s Constitutional Rights. Read more
Who Guards the Guards: DC Cops Bring Guns to a Snow Ball Fight
We can’t comment much on this story that was posted by Fox12, but it makes us wonder if this will be investigated:
“The snow also caused problems for more than 200 people at the nation’s capitol who turned up for a snowball fight today in DC.The snow ball fighters were having fun tossing snow balls to each other until they started hitting vehicles passing through which then prompted police to the scene. Officers were then seen going for their guns while warning the snow ball-ers to cease and desist.People in the crowd seemed outraged that police had cracked down so roughly on the activity.No arrests were made and no one was hurt.”
Of course given that DC residents can’t own guns of any sort, the police have no danger of turning the nation’s capital into a true police state!
