Gun Control Works: Murders Up 54% in Washington D.C.
Obama will be doing his Town Hall about "common sense reforms" for "folks" to do away with Bill of Rights. But maybe he should start gun control small. Like making it work in Washington D.C.
The hives of bureaucrats, consultants, regulators and politicians in D.C. think they can run America. But here's what their own city looks like.
Murders are up to 162 in D.C. Up from 105 last year for a 54.3% increase.
Maybe Obama can do some sort of town hall in D.C. Invite all the gang members and drug dealers he insists on freeing from prison, along with some of the "unaccompanied children" covered in gang tattoos coming up out of El Salvador, and talk to them about gun control.
Paul Trantham, an ANC commissioner in Ward 8, represents one of the most violent areas of the District.
Tratham is outraged and impassioned about the homicide spike in the city.
He said, “We have had all of these forums. We have had discussion after discussion. And right after we have these discussions, guess what? ‘Boom, boom, boom’ again.
“So many people want to blame the mayor, blame the police, but the police and the mayor are not the ones out here shooting people and killing people. It’s the people within our communities.”
“[Black Lives Matter], this group, are out on the front streets talking about police brutality. It’s no longer police brutality. It’s community brutality against one another,” said Trantham.
“They say they need jobs,” Trantham said. “Let’s be honest. They don't want jobs. They really don't want no jobs because there are many job opportunities out here for people who truly want a job. They want to smoke the marijuana, the K2 and just do whatever they want to do. Be buck wild.”
You know what, I actually want to see Paul Trantham at a town hall on gun violence. He actually knows what he's talking about.
