The Washington Times<\/a>‘ S.A.Miller reports that those gun grabbing fascists are seizing on the shooting at the Holocaust Museum yesterday as evidence that laws need to tighten against law-abiding firearms owners;<\/p>\n

They said it highlights the need for lawmakers to reconsider efforts to ease the District’s tough gun laws and allowing firearms into national parks.<\/p>\n

D.C. Council Chairman Vincent C. Gray said the shooting underscored the need for strict gun laws in the nation’s capital.<\/p>\n

“It’s all the more reason why, though, District of Columbia gun legislation should be not used as a bargaining chip by those in Congress who would use our city for political gain while compromising safety, particularly when it involves our right to a vote,” said Mr. Gray, at-large Democrat. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

First of all, von Brunn is a resident of Maryland, so DC’s gun laws wouldn’t have prevented him from possessing a gun. Secondly, shotgun ownership is illegal in the District already, according to the Metro cop I talked to in the Fourth Precinct a few years back before I brought my own weapons when I moved to the District. <\/p>\n

Thirdly, von Brunn probably didn’t own the weapon legally – he was a twice-convicted felon. There are already laws preventing felons from owning guns. <\/p>\n

“It is dangerous to force more guns into places that American families expect to be gun-free and safe,” [Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence] said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Anyone expecting DC to be “gun-free and safe” for their families lives in a pod underground. There are already 28 unsolved homocides<\/a> in the District this year. There have been 58 homicides, and almost nine hundred illegal guns recovered<\/a> in the District so far this year.<\/p>\n

The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence said the museum shooting was part of a pattern of escalating gun violence in America.<\/p>\n

“What we are seeing play out in tragedies across our country is the mixing of the insurrectionist idea with increasingly weaker gun laws,” the coalition said in a statement. “In shooting after shooting, we have seen individuals disgruntled with government gain easy access to firearms despite criminal records and troubling mental health histories.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And how would writing more regulations and laws for gun control prevent criminals from getting guns illegally? And notice that it’s people who are “disgruntled with government” – coded language for “wingnuts on the Right”.<\/p>\n

There are already sufficient gun laws, what we need is enforcement. Whoever gave von Brunn his gun should be punished right along side von Brunn, but we can be pretty sure it wasn’t transferred legally. So these intellectually vacant gun grabbers ought to focus on common sense enforcement instead of trying to pass laws that won’t be enforced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
