Police State in D.C.

D.C. is an embarrassment. As our nation's capital, D.C. should be the shining city on a hill...an exemplification of freedom and liberty for the world to see. But it's not. It's a crime infested place with minimal liberty. Because of its high crime rate, police are going to set up roadblocks in the Trinidad neighborhood to stop people and verify their reason for being in that particular neighborhood before they will be allowed to proceed. This is wrong. People should be free to come and go as they please, and they shouldn't be stopped without a reasonable cause.

Maybe it's just me, but why can't D.C. understand, by reviewing the facts, that states and cities with unrestricted firearm ownership have lower crime rates? It's no surprise that D.C. is very anti-gun and consequently has a very high crime rate. As some of you may know, the D.C. gun ban is making its way through the Supreme Court this year.

Here's a novel idea. Let people protect themselves. Let them bear arms. Let freedom ring. Then watch the crime rates go down.
