Weeeeellll, do you have a map? Perhaps you can look at that map. And perhaps you will notice on that map that DC is right next to Virginia and Maryland, neither of which have strict gun control laws. Did you know that there is not a checkpoint to get into DC from these states?
After you do that, you can check your facts. In 2008, most of the strict gun laws put in place in DC were struck down by the Supreme Court. So, they're not nearly as strict as Fox News and The Blaze are telling you.
Marianne: By your logic Maryland and Virginia should also have sky high murder rates since it is easier to get a gun there, but they do not. Obviously there must be something else at work.

Note the people in Chicago and D.C. Appear to be from the same family
I am curious to why the deaths in D.C. are so high even though they are one of the strictest on gun laws.
In D.C. deaths by guns are a staggering 31.2, while everywhere else it's significantly lower.

I'd greatly appreciate reasons to why this is.
