52% of murder suspects have prior gun arrests

Gee ya think? What have we been saying? It's the criminals not the guns. DC"s answer? Pass more laws.

Enforce the ones on the books and hold Judges accountable.

Exactly the problem.

1) The laws are clearly only affecting law-abiding citizens.
2) Criminals are not being properly charged once they break the law, especially considering these are gun law violations in the first place.

In any other profession, if your mistakes killed people, you'd be fired - at least.

No big surprise there on the prior arrests, sounds like DC may need a gun drop off box to solve their "gun issues" to.

Asking criminals in DC to drop off their guns would be akin to asking a carpenter to drop off his hammer and saw.

More liberal stupidity.

I keep thinking that will be the next EO to come down the pike.

Only targeted towards the law abiding though.

Regardless of who's going to end up in the WH next time around.

Do the 'gun criminals' we drop off have to still be breathing ??

This doesn't break out gun arrests specifically but in Baltimore the numbers of victims & suspects with criminal records is staggering.

So, if 52% of these thugs have ALREADY been convicted of committing crimes with guns (and they are back on the street), then the culprits must be the folks who put them back on the street, right? How about we hold the judges and prosecutors accountable for the mayhem their lenient and inadequate sentencing decisions and plea bargains cause?

The lawyers and judges get rich off repeat criminals. They sure don't want to stop that.

A good reason to fill murderers 97% full of lead.

A new liberal poll shows that 3 out of 4 people make up 75% of the world's population :deal:

I was actually having this conversation this weekend. At what point does the state become liable for gross negligence?

If I knowingly transfer a firearm to a person I know is a felon, aren't I liable for any of the crimes that they commit with that firearm? How is any different in San Francisco where they released a known criminal under their sanctuary policy and that person went out and killed someone?

I imagine it will be a legal battle that would be completely stacked against the person trying to hold the judicial system accountable, but it is a good point.

DC should at least revoke their firearm registration cards and concealed carry licenses and charge them with violating both laws if they offend again while out on bail or probation.
