Chief Tango sends us an article from the Washington Post<\/a> which sheepishly reports that there were nearly 1400 armed robberies reported in the liberal utopia which is our nation’s capitol.<\/p>\n

The number of gun robberies in 2013 was 97 fewer than in the previous year, a drop of more than 6 percent. It was, however, about 11 percent more than the 1,261 gun robberies reported to police in 2011.<\/p>\n

Robberies, particularly those involving weapons, are often considered a key measure of crime and safety. More numerous and widespread than slayings, they have a strong effect on residents\u2019 perceptions. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The only thing that surprises me is the fact that the Post actually reported this crime rate. The Post and the Metro PD are proud of the fact that the murders were down to 104 last year, but if gun control was working, it should be “0”, shouldn’t it? <\/p>\n

The District banned guns from it’s streets in 1974, but their police still recover<\/a> about 2,000 guns every year mostly from criminals, but also from gun buy back programs. <\/p>\n

And, oh, this week, the District’s legal gun owners are lining up at their local precincts to be fingerprinted like common criminals for reregistration of their firearms. From the Washington Times<\/a>; <\/p>\n

In the District, firearm registration renewal will cost gun owners $48 regardless of the number of guns they own, according to police. The reregistration is completed when the gun owner is fingerprinted, pays the renewal fee, passes a criminal-background check and submits a renewal form that confirms the owner\u2019s home address, the serial number and type of gun owned, and answers a series of questions about their fitness to own a gun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile common criminals will likely avoid the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
