By now you've undoubtedly heard about the armed robbery of Former D.C. Mayor and City Councilman Marion Barry. What you may not have heard is that the anti-gun politico is not blaming his assailants. He's blaming their guns.
"I hold no animosities. I don't even want you prosecuted, really. I love you," he said.That's right. Barry wants a mandatory 10-year sentence for his armed assailants because they were carrying guns. That they robbed him, well. . .he's not even willing to prosecute that!Barry vowed not to move from his home in the council district he represents. But he said he will push for tougher gun control laws. Last session he offered a bill mandating a 10-year sentence for those caught with a gun. So far, a hearing has not been scheduled, but Barry hopes to see action on it this year.
"Violence is everywhere in our city and our nation," Barry said. "These guns have got to go."
Say Uncle reports that some people think it was a drug deal gone bad.

I will keep these evil firearms off of the street, and teach them not to commit crimes.
If one opf them cannot be trusted, I will keep it locked up in my gunsafe, or under my direct control, where it can harm no one by itself.
It didn't occur to me at first, but I think that Say Uncle may be right. (My thinking was that he didn't want to prosecute because he knew if he did he would be at risk when he ventured back out to buy drugs later.) I bet that is what happened and he had to notify authorities at all because of his ID etc.
The best of the DC black community!! (Yeah, I know, but try living around here and putting up with DC voters reelecting a convicted crackhead to be mayor of the nations capitol. The black community deserves all the insults it gets over Barry.)
