    More handguns — the primary tool of killers in the region — could be trafficked across the District of Columbia’s borders and into neighboring counties if the District’s handgun ban is overturned, county officials told The Examiner Monday.

    With the U.S. Supreme Court poised to hear one week from today the District’s appeal of a lower court’s ruling striking down the ban, some area law enforcement officials are worried.

    “There’s already enough cross-border challenges,” said Glenn Ivey, the Prince George’s County state’s attorney. “Relaxing gun restrictions would not be helpful.”

    Montgomery County State’s Attorney John McCarthy said, “Because there are already so many illegal guns out there,” it would be speculative to put a number on how many handguns could come streaming across the border, but “more guns on the street in D.C. increases the potential for them to come here.”

    Ok Ok Ok.......Let me get this straight?

    For the longest time DC has complained that the states surrounding it need to get rid of their guns because they are flooding the streets of DC.

    Now they are claiming that if the DC Gun Ban is lifted the neighboring states will be flooded with the guns from DC?

    WHAT MORONS!!!!!!

    "But Ivey said many killings involving handguns are “assassinations” when the victim — often a drug dealer — is attacked from the side, or otherwise surprised, and some involve stray bullets from shootouts. “I don’t know if having [your own] gun in those situations would help,” he said."

    sooooo most of the killings are drug dealers getting assassinated in gangland warfare? sounds like even if the guns go into the hands of the criminals it'll get rid of a lot of criminals.

    Yeah, and now the drug dealer is the victim of crime instead of perpetrating the crime. One second he is rotten and in the next two seconds he earns his wings as a saint? So Ivey does advocate that criminals carrying guns to protect themselves are just like regular citizens, because if crime happenned to you, you would be shot from the side or hit with a stray bullet and any form of protection is useless? Even in your own home? What horsesh_t!!:mad54:
