Like the one &#8220;Maynard&#8221; writes; &#8220;<em>I wish those home invaders shot her.<\/em>&#8221; Because criminals have a right to life while people who want to protect themselves and be safe don&#8217;t. But, we&#8217;ve seen that here at TAH, too, where the trolls criticize us for our &#8220;feel good stories&#8221; because the criminals are supposed to guarantee the results of their poor decisions, while the victims are slaves to those decisions and situations not of their making.<\/p>\n<p>Early one morning, while living in DC, I took my dog outside for a walk and found the parking lot full of cops and a dead body in the middle of the lot (a drug-related crime). Someone in DC has guns, but it&#8217;s not not law abiding citizens. So I left a few weeks later.<\/p>\n<p>Today, on the 66th day of this year, there have been <a href=\"http:\/\/mpdc.dc.gov\/node\/197622\">26 homicides<\/a> so far this year in DC. The MPD doesn&#8217;t tell us how many were gun crimes, but we can guess. In a city where guns have been generally illegal since 1974, 2008 guns were recovered by police in 2012 (the last complete year of the police statistics). So criminals have the choices. Law abiding citizens not so much &#8211; well, except do like I did and move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emily Miller was on Fox News talking about why she spent four months and a couple &hellip; <a title=\"Emily Miller on Fox discussing guns in DC\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=40240\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Emily Miller on Fox discussing guns in DC<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40240","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-guns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=40240"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40240\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=40240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=40240"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=40240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
