Crime rates in the nation’s capital are the lowest they have been in decades, and have decreased dramatically over the last two years.

    Yes, because stricter gun laws than most=cannot buy guns at all only rocks.

      are you arguing that stricter gun laws are not a barrier to arming oneself?

        You could argue any and all gun laws are a “barrier” to arming oneself, but no, none of them are in any way whatsoever insurmountable, and amount to “barriers” you can simply step over. You claiming the PNW is unarmed and people there can’t buy guns?

          i am claiming what i said. the poster you commented to was being obviously hyperbolic. i don’t know what the gun laws are around pnw. but around here they vary wildly depending on where i go. the point of them was never to be insurmountable, but to be difficult enough to arm the correct people and to dissuade ownership for another.

          No we’re claiming that lefties being “lots of them armed” in the PNW is bullshit.

              Reusing this from my other comment…you may think you are, and you might be the most armed of the left in the states, but you still have enough lefties who vote for some of the strictest gun laws in the country.

              https://www.atg.wa.gov/firearms

              https://everytownresearch.org/rankings/state/washington/

              https://everytownresearch.org/rankings/state/oregon/

              What? You got AWB and high cap mag bans…and 3 day waiting periods…you do have some of the strictest gun control on the books.

              Idaho is the only place that has very little gun laws, but the majority of the left doesn’t live there.

              https://everytownresearch.org/rankings/state/idaho/

              Idaho has voted red for decades now, so please don’t tell me there are tons of lefties there…

              It’s not rocket science. Yes PNW is more left but it’s still no where near the south or the rest of the red states.

              Please provide me info that shows the left is even remotely armed like the right wing in this country. You can downvote all you want but it doesn’t magically make those on the left armed.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
