This Marion Barry Story Is A Hoot
Marion Barry was robbed at gun point in his southeast Washington, D.C. home. Not to worry 'cause Mayor Barry has an answer. Barry vowed that he would not move from his Ward Eight home because of the robbery. He did say that he will push for tougher gun control laws. He is the City Council representative for Ward Eight.
You go Marion Barry! The stringent gun control laws of Washington, D.C. have done nothing to remove guns from the hands of criminals. It never will, Mr. Barry, because criminals do not obey the law. They violate laws, which is what they do. That is why they are called criminals. Your gun control laws have made it difficult for private citizens to protect their life and property. Your citizens are in more danger of becoming a victim because of your gun control laws.
So you think right to carry doesn’t work. (Big Bubba Big Note: Look for the statement, "In general, permit-holders were model law-abiders. Even off-duty police officers in Florida were convicted of violent crimes at a higher rate than permit-holders."
The criminals are not as dumb as gun control advocates. They are all moving to Washington, D.C. and other defenseless areas.
Bad news for the progressive liberal pseudo intellectual demoracists. Right to carry laws in Texas work! So who is surprised? They are working in every other right to carry state also. I guess that leaves the denizens of Washington, D.C. at the mercy of the cruelest of all population controls - prohibiting firearms.

I thought that DC already had a handgun ban, as well as a ban on semi-automatic weapons. How much "tougher" can they get.
...and mr. ducky, I've heard that the per capita "murder rate" in DC is "higher" than Bagdad today. If anything, we should pull out of DC before we pull out of Iraq. More lives might be saved.

What's the price of tea in China? How high the moon? How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
For what it is worth, Duck, this 2002 study concluded that DC Is Again 'Murder Capital with Dallas coming in at number 10, Houston 13, Boston 18 and San Antonio 22.
Mr. Ducky, proven fact - violent crimes down in jurisdictions with right to carry laws. Go ahead, prove otherwise.
All you are doing is adding hot air to the atmosphere with your idle speculation and opinionating. Offer proof for some of your premises.
We are listening.
I just can't resist...

I am making this trip to Africa because Washington is an international city, just like Tokyo, Nigeria or Israel. As mayor, I am an international symbol. Can you deny that to Africa?- M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC
People have criticized me because my security detail is larger than the president's. But you must ask yourself: are there more people who want to kill me than who want to kill the president? I can assure you there are. - M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC
The brave men who died in Vietnam, more than 100% of which were black, were the ultimate sacrifice. - M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC
I read a funny story about how the Republicans freed the slaves. The Republicans are the ones who created slavery by law in the 1600's. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves and he was not a Republican. - M. Barry, Mayor of Washington, DC
What right does Congress have to go around making laws just because they deem it necessary?

Farmer John, your Marion Barry quotes are more of a hoot than the article.
My pleasure gentlemen.

Seems to me that Marion Barry was robbed at least once before, maybe at Haines Point. Or maybe Haines was another of his arrest sites. Whatever. Traces of drugs were found in his car, I think. It crossed many people's minds that he might've been on a buying expedition.
Barry looks like an old crack addict. Is he still using? I wouldn't be surprised. The devil's pipe has a strong hold.
Many around the D.C. area believe that he wants to stay in Southeast D.C. because scoring there is easy as pie.
FJ's quotes are very appropriate here.
