Yeah, it is working great in Chicago and DC where hand guns are
virtually banned

NBC news' David Gregory is in some serious trouble because he asked the
police if he could use a 30 round magazine and was told no they are
illegal to poses in DC. Gregory did it anyway and is now facing the
possibility of being arrested, convicted, fined and jailed.


Do you really think Holder is gonna' let anybody do anything to a
lib-activist? LOL!

Do you think the attorney general of the United States is going to
involve himself in a matter that falls strictly under the purview of the
District of Columbia? I find it hard to believe you actually graduated
from a public high school in Connecticut.

Check the Residence Act of 1790.

The Residence Act? Hehehe. The alleged violation relating to the hi-cap
mag is related to laws of the District of Columbia. The hi-cap mags are
not illegal under federal law.

Congress is in charge of DC. Nothing happens in DC that Congress doesn't
like to have happen, except for the corruption in the mayor's office and
the council.

You didn't check did you?
Prior to 1968, it might have been the DoJ who was investigating a DC
crime. The District was actually governed by a committee in the House
of Representatives. They had no local government and the DC cops
ultimately reported to DoJ.
DC still does not have a voting representative in congress.

And this has WHAT to do with now???!!

That was rendered moot when DC was given home rule in 1968.
They are running their own city now. Personally I think we would all
be better off if they ceded it back to Maryland, only keeping the
Federal Triangle where the national monuments, capitol, white house
and the majority of federal buildings lie.



Statehood, with one voting u.s. rep and two u.s. senators.

Cede the land back to Maryland like the ceded the land across the river
back to Virginia.

If the people in DC want to live in a state they can move to any state
they want, there are 50 to choose from.

I don't believe the district has the critical mass to be a state.
It may be a little more possible now that they are gentrifying
downtown and shoving the poor people out past the beltway but you
still have a revenue problem.

If they did something like that the government would still want to
carve out their patch.

Ceding the commercial and privately owned areas to Maryland is a more
reasonable option. They have the precedent with the Virginia bite out
of the original diamond.


Critical mass? You mean population? D.C. has about the same population
as Alaska, Vermont, and North Dakota though, obviously, much smaller
geographic area.

D.C. doesn't want to be part of another state. It wants its own
political clout and independence.

Alaska and North Dakota have natural resources and a real economy. DC
just sucks on the government tit. The federal government is the only
industry they have. A lot of that is moving north to the I-270
corridor. The biggest industry downtown is K street. (essentially
legal bribery)


So what?

What does DC have to offer the US in the form of revenue and expansion?
