DC butts right up against MD and VA. NATS stadium is approximately 2 miles from the Maryland state line and 5 miles from the Virginia line. Both states have access to guns.

I've posted about it here before, but in 2013 I was involved in a workplace shooting in DC where 12 people were killed. The shooter, who was mentally ill/schizophrenic but apparently there were no "flags" drove to Lorton, VA two days before the shooting and bought some sort of rifle there. Took it home and modified it and used it to commit the shootings. DC's laws don't matter when they border so closely to different states with different gun laws. It's not like if it were Texas and they had the same type of laws and you lived in the center of Texas. It would take a pretty long drive for you to get to the next state to purchase a gun. If you live in southeast DC, you can actually walk into Maryland.

See my point? Black-on-black crime has become acceptable and expectable, kind of like wallpaper. It should have been the main story in this case, not the over-reaction by a bunch of white visitors to the ghetto.
ChristineVA just posted that it was front page news there.

I was shaving, back now. Your point was, it must not have been a cop shooting a thug or we would have heard about it, my point was - it was not a cop shooting a thug and we still heard about it. Does that clear things up for you? It’s on the front page of both Fox and CNN, they’re focusing on the shooting, you’re focusing on race.

Glad you were okay.

In addition to this, people always bring up strict gun control laws, as if people who would murder another person would refrain from purchasing or using a gun because of the law. WHAT the H are they thinking?

Many of you might hit a paywall, but this story is currently on the front page of the online edition.

If there were strict gun laws, that were enforced, he wouldn't have been able to buy the gun is the thought process.

There will always be a black market and criminals will still get their hands on guns.

Incident occurred outside the stadium. Two vehicles were involved in a shootout outside the stadium. One of the vehicles has been recovered and it’s occupants among the injured.

Only decent law abiding people obey the law. These thugs, and yes, they are mostly black democrats, will never go by the law. They will always have guns, and shoot the law abiding people that don`t. Where do you think the thugs get the guns that kill children in Chicago every day. Do they have a license to carry?
