Gun violence rose sharply in the District in 2007, with the number of homicides jumping 7 percent after several years of decline.

What happened in 2007 on the lines of gun laws? All I remember is the DC gun ban being over turned later last year. I doubt that that made much, if any, of an impact. There’s a lack of real analyis here.

The equivalence of Che Guevara and Adolph Hitler is a valid one. And in many ways Che was a worse monster. While Hitler sat back and let underlings do his dirty work, Che did much of the killing himself and personally trained the execution squads who did the rest. He personally murdered political opponents, whereas Hitler outsourced that duty.

When we look at the “socialist paradise” that is Cuba, we must remember that a sizable share of the misery those people suffer is directly attributable to Che Guevara bringing Castro into power, and giving him many of the policies that have caused so much pain. The real symbol of Che should be the raft, to remind us of all those who have died on rafts in the ocean trying to escape the Cuban nightmare and get to freedom. And had he not been killed, begging for his life like a coward, he would’ve done the same thing again and again in countries all throughout Latin and South America. His actions have inspired terrorists across a continent and caused countless deaths.

Every leftist who celebrates Che is celebrating a murderer, a monster, and a Marxist who is directly and indirectly responsible for wide spread murder, starvation and fascist states. They may as well worship Hitler, because the two men shared not only an ideology, but results. And Che never got the trains to run on time.

I have to say that in theory I was always a gun ban proponent because I’m anti-gun and anti-violence. But, since moving to the district, I’ve been just annoyed that I can’t own one. Especially when I see that there was another home invasion or something. Not that I think owning a gun is the answer, but it doesn’t make sense that law-abiding people can’t own them. Oh, and to the DC versus MD/VA thing--many of the criminals who come into the district and commit crimes are from those areas.

The “reality based community” has some explaining to do.

Wonder why they’d choose the district over MD or VA?

Can you say “gun free zone?”
