Washington D.C. witnessed four shootings in a single night on April 21st, including one involving a 12-year-old girl. It was an evening emblematic of how gun violence continues soar in the city, despite it being a “gun free” zone that spends millions on “social justice.”

Gun violence in the nation’s capital has “increased significantly” over the past five years, with a 40 percent rise in offenses involving a gun since 2017. In 2017, there were 1573 violent offenses involving a firearm, whereas, in 2022, there were 2,203, according to Axios D.C.

The city’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) seized 3,152 guns in 2022 – over 800 more than in 2021 – 127 of which were modified to feature a fully automatic switch.

In general, D.C. has seen skyrocketing criminality in recent years, with back-to-back years with more than 200 murders between 2021 – 2022 for the first time since 2002 – 2003. There were more than 200 in 2022, 226 in 2021, and even 198 in 2020.

As of May 3, there has been a 26 percent increase in all crime this year compared to 2022, according to the MPD’s own statistics. These offenses include, homicide, sexual abuse, robbery, motor vehicle theft, carjackings, and arson.

The outgoing MPD Chief, Robert Contee, told CBS, “[t]here are a lot more guns are in communities now, a lot more guns than what we experienced over the course of my time here in the police department.”

Contee added that violent crime is often linked to illegal firearms – a growing problem as a result of the city’s stringent firearm policies.

Indeed, the Washington D.C. city council has enacted some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country. Washington D.C. requires all guns to be registered, there to have been a universal background check, gun owner licensing, handgun dealer licensing, extreme risk protection orders, assault weapon restrictions, large capacity magazine bans, waiting periods, child access prevention laws, open carry regulations, and strong concealed carry laws. In other words, guns are almost impossible to own in the city.

At the end of April, the Mayor of Washington D.C., Muriel Bowser, who was quoted as having “anxiety” about the growing D.C. criminality, announced a new “focused and community-centered” strategy that will help reduce the city’s crime rate.

The strategy shall include, increasing the visibility of police patrols, better use of personnel (greater unit availability), no “displacement” of crime, a “diffusion” of benefits, and providing a varied experience throughout the city.

MPD Chief Contee, however, argues that the real problem is the lack of police staff.  “Whether it’s D.C., New York, L.A., Detroit, Chicago, it doesn’t matter,” says Contee, “everybody is having this struggle when it comes to recruiting and retaining police officers.”

In other words: the left’s demonization of cops over the past decade has directly led to more death and suffering.
