Daylight shooting in DC claims four
Speaking of guns and DC, the Washington Times reports that four men were shot during daylight today in Northeast DC;
First responders were called to the 3900 block of Minnesota Avenue Northeast at 1:11 p.m. and located four gunshot victims, said D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services spokesman Tim Wilson.
Two men suffered life-threatening injuries and a spokesman for the police department said one man had been shot multiple times and another once in the chest. A third man was shot in the leg and the fourth victim’s injuries were not known.
It was not known whether the victims were adults or juveniles.
See, I don’t believe the story – after all, guns are heavily restricted in the nation’s capitol and no one is supposed to take their weapons out of their homes. So unless the four were shot from one of the nearby houses, I have to call bullshit on the article. Because everyone knows that gun control legislation works.

Maybe at some point Obama said, “If you live in DC, you won’t get shot because there are no guns allowed…PERIOD.”
Tomorrow Art Carney will come out and say, “well, what he meant is, if you already live there, you’re grandfathered in and CAN get shot, only new residents WON’T get shot…”
Well, There’s always the cops and the thousands of armed federalies. God knows there are plenty of guns in the federal distict and not all of them are in the hands of criminals, unless you count honest citizens and police as criminals.
You people just do not understand the Progressive mindset.
OF COURSE there is gun violence in DC — the guns come from OUTSIDE of DC. We will never be free of gun violence until guns are outlawed everywhere in the entire country, and guns aren’t made anywhere else in the world, and all the guns in existence are destroyed or worn out. The people who get killed in places like DC in the meantime are just collateral damage. It has to start somewhere.
I kid you not.
@3, I know you aren’t joking. I’ve already seen that kind of justification when rational people ask why gun control laws in Chicago don’t stop violence.

That’s when the aliens attack.
My first thought was of Ralph Wiggum. “Guns in DC? That’s unpossible”.
Off topic, UFC Fight For The Troops was awesome. Main event had a 7th Special Forces Group sniper and combatives instructor. Whole crowd was chanting “Ranger up” and sure enough, he won by knockout. Tim Kennedy is a beast!
Valerie, sheeple like you always call for Government to save everyone from themselves. Please segregate yourselves from the rest of Society and DO NOT REPRODUCE!!
@7
I think Valerie was just commenting on how progressives think, not indicating that she agrees with them.
@7, what @8 said. she’s not progressive, she just understands them. Because in war, you must understand your enemy as well as yourself, in order to be victorious.
Not enough caffeine in my system, I stand corrected!
API: Yeah, misunderstanding what someone else writes is understandable by those who understand that what they misunderstood needed correcting after ingesting copious amounts of morning beverages. Understand? No??
There is a good reason for that.
And again, what Joey the rock climbing socialist, the Brady Bunchers, Bloomy, et al, can’t or don’t realize is that RESPONSIBLE gun ownership does not result in people getting gunned down in the streets. Quite the opposite, in fact.
No surprise here.
Green Thumb: well, I am. I’m shocked, shocked I say!
Everyone knows that guns are illegal in DC! No one has them – there’s no need! So this can’t be true!
(Yeah, I’m being sarcastic as hell.)
And for the tools who are blaming “imported weapons” – the last time I looked at a map, NE DC is surrounded by MD, not VA. MD’s gun laws aren’t that much less stringent than DCs (in the top 10 in the nation by Brady Score).
Obviously everything is coming in through the unguarded Southern perimeter…aka McAuliffeland.
