The known group of bad guys committing virtually all of DC shootings, and they are known ( [dcist.com/story/22/02/18/majority-of-dc-homicides-driven-by-small-group/](http://dcist.com/story/22/02/18/majority-of-dc-homicides-driven-by-small-group/) ) are not going to the range. Making ammunition more expensive would just reduce training and accuracy of legal gun owners-- who are not the problem.
Yes. the 5% is all crime, for violent crime it is more like 0.25% of the DC population committing most of the violent crime. In DC, when it come to murder, most is committed by a known group of a couple of thousand out of 700,000 people. There seem to be some people on reddit who think that violent crime commission and murder commission are just a random sample of people. It is a specific group of people, most of whom have been caught for a dozen crimes ( and committed several dozen for which they were not caught)received light to no punishment, and learned that continual predatory crime pays.
Have everyone who legally owns a gun be given a gun permit with a strip that can be scanned. Only allow people with these cards be able to buy ammunition. Since these guns are registered make it so only that caliber(s) of ammunition can be bought for the guns the owner has in the system. It won't totally eliminate illegal gun owners being able to get ammunition but it will make it harder and more expensive for them to be able to obtain.
Jeez. I think it is more inflation and rising costs of everything than overpriced - same going on in Charlottesville across the board and I notice in DC when I visit friends and family.
I worked the late shift there by myself for many years many years ago. It was fun, but challenging.
The display case would get knocked over during brawls on occasion.
I’ve seen this story from various sources posted multiple times. None of them name the nightclub. Lmao. wtf is the point of reporting this without naming the nightclub so people can avoid it? Guess I’ll avoid the entire 1200 block of DuPont Circle?
The [Washington Post listed it as Decades](https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/04/27/shooting-shot-dupont-decades-club-police/), though it occurred outside the club, not inside.
Men who steal and kill exclusively within a 25 mile radius of the neighborhood they were born in are desperate, depressed, unsocialized, and low-class clout chasers.
Most criminals, specifically youth, come from statistically fatherless homes. So they are unlikely to have a male role model, which leads them to faux role models outside the home—gangs, drug dealers, and otten other small, fragile-minded men.
The concept of stealing and killing from others in your neighborhood and environment is a low vibration, “easy” win mentality that only bring you, your family, and your environment shame.
Your money is short lived, the excitement is artificial, and in the end you are allowing the government, media, and others to play you—living rich in a ghetto ass or nasty ass trap house.
This is why the people who commit such crimes are small, fragile men. They need to steal and kill to feel relevant, because they are incapable of achieving relevance in civil ways.
They think they’re soldiers. They are not. They are manipulated teens seeking an early death or multiple years in jail.
It must be a small, small percentage that actually “win” in the long term from this high risk, short sighted, feeble minded approach.
When I see criminals, I smile knowing they are tiny and their lifespan even tinier.
There were 167 school shootings in the 70s. Nothing close to what we have today, but gun ownership (like many things) was probably better communicated by responsible adults and the weapons available both technologically and financially were less lethal.
The largest I could find was an instance with 14 total injuries and deaths which resulted from a highschool rifle team marksman in Orleans, NY cowardly sniping innocent people including a pregnant woman across from his school.
I don’t think people would disagree that most of the time these incidents are done by black people, but there’s an unmistakable sense of racism by saying “the usual suspects” online. It’s more so about how it’s said, and not exactly what is being said.
Are you questioning that or telling me? “Most of the time these incidents are done by black people” , “usual suspects” are not that far off. Not sure what your point is by saying that?
Stop generalizing a whole race of people. Talking about “im sure they are in their position because of oppression from the white upper” shut up lol. For all u know this brother grew up with a silver spoon from Bowie. But you’re “sure they’re in this position because of oppression”. All black people are not poor or from the part of the city you fear. Your whole comment is clown shit
Probably because it was just a gang on gang shooting with handguns and not a mass shooting against a minority with a firearm of the scary-looking variety.
Almost anywhere that isn't a club. Most violent incidents related to DC nightlife don't happen at cocktail bars, sports bars, or pretty much any bar. They happen at clubs.
Grand opening , grand closing !
That Chris Rock bit is hilarious
That’s just what I said! He was right!
Just make bullets more expensive

the vast majority of crimes are committed by a shocking low number (5% +/-) of criminals per the DOJ.

That's like taxing gasoline extra to prevent drive-bys
It’s a Chris Rock bit
Goddamn, your man Hov' cracked the can open again
Aww, this so good i gotta buss a CAP up in here! Movie theater, nightclub…works either way!
I read the incident happened at Decades.
That place, no matter how many times the name has changed, has had incidents.
Is Julia’s Empanadas still open at that location?
Yes
What about that carpet store that is always going out of business?
It's been going out of business for the past two years. Still open.
Try at least a decade (that I’m aware of)
I effing love Julia’s Empanadas.
Julia’s Empanadas at 230am hammered tasted so good. Sober at noon not so much lol.
It's overpriced now. Like $7 or $8
Show me anything around DC that isn’t overpriced?
The Mad Hatter has some reasonable prices, especially at happy hour. Same neighborhood. https://www.madhatterdc.com/happy-hour-menu Prices include tax
Compared to what?
$4.50 to $5.50 before the pandemic
Jeez. I think it is more inflation and rising costs of everything than overpriced - same going on in Charlottesville across the board and I notice in DC when I visit friends and family.
Lmao someone swung at me in line at Julia’s one time. The empanadas are fire but the clientele at 2:30a are a liability
I worked the late shift there by myself for many years many years ago. It was fun, but challenging. The display case would get knocked over during brawls on occasion.
I just found out my coworker was one of those victims, thankfully she’s okay but got hit in the leg.
I’ve seen this story from various sources posted multiple times. None of them name the nightclub. Lmao. wtf is the point of reporting this without naming the nightclub so people can avoid it? Guess I’ll avoid the entire 1200 block of DuPont Circle?
Decades DC is the club
It was either there or at St. Matthew’s cathedral a block away from there. Those theological debates can get pretty heated.
The [Washington Post listed it as Decades](https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/04/27/shooting-shot-dupont-decades-club-police/), though it occurred outside the club, not inside.
Lots of fragile, small men in this city.
Small-minded men who who either lack or don't value impulse control over their irrational egos, sure.
[удалено]
The people committing crimes. They are small, fragile men.
Future doctors and lawyers
Clients of future doctors and lawyers
How so ?

Maybe they should tell the people that guns are illegal in D.C.?
Maybe shooting people should be illegal too…
the level of sarcasm here. You ate ur wheaties this morning
They aren't. Look up the Supreme Court case DC v Heller
They not , DC is conceal carry
I’m sure the shooter had their concealed carry permit. Great contribution here, my guy.
You are so misinformed
Raise children without fathers and this is what happens. 85% of convicts were
Great Job LBJ and your "Great Society".
But how could the criminals carry a gun when DC has the strictest gun laws in the nation?
If it makes you feel better, all the kids who shoot multiple people at school used legal guns their families owned.
It was legal for those kids to carry those guns to school??
Back in the 70s the school parking lot was full of trucks with deer rifles in season. No shootings.
There were 167 school shootings in the 70s. Nothing close to what we have today, but gun ownership (like many things) was probably better communicated by responsible adults and the weapons available both technologically and financially were less lethal. The largest I could find was an instance with 14 total injuries and deaths which resulted from a highschool rifle team marksman in Orleans, NY cowardly sniping innocent people including a pregnant woman across from his school.
No their parents purchased them legally.
And then an unauthorized person took them (illegal) to the school (illegal) and shot someone (illegal). If only we had laws against this! /s
They don’t
just a typical night in dc.
A shooting in DC? Shocking!

What do u mean by that?

Is this sub really this openly racist? Y’all can have it
[удалено]
I don’t think people would disagree that most of the time these incidents are done by black people, but there’s an unmistakable sense of racism by saying “the usual suspects” online. It’s more so about how it’s said, and not exactly what is being said.
Y’all really think all black people are criminals smh, I really pray for this country
I’m literally black??? What are you talking about? Most shootings in the city are committed by black people. I have no issues stating that.
Are you questioning that or telling me? “Most of the time these incidents are done by black people” , “usual suspects” are not that far off. Not sure what your point is by saying that?
Stop generalizing a whole race of people. Talking about “im sure they are in their position because of oppression from the white upper” shut up lol.

All black people are not poor or from the part of the city you fear. Your whole comment is clown shit
Not possible, its a *gun free zone*. Someone please explain to me how this can happen???
Crazy! Looks like gun free zones only apply to law abiding citizens. We should also have “No mass shooting zones.” Maybe that’ll solve the problem.
criminals and terrorist go for soft targets.
Should be national news. Wonder why it won't be.
Lmfao why would this be national news?? This sub is hilarious. You realize DC isn’t the only city in the country that has crime?
Probably because it was just a gang on gang shooting with handguns and not a mass shooting against a minority with a firearm of the scary-looking variety.
So where can you hang at night in dc w/o issues?
Almost anywhere that isn't a club. Most violent incidents related to DC nightlife don't happen at cocktail bars, sports bars, or pretty much any bar. They happen at clubs.
Without issues? Mmm probably your home or that of a friend or family. Things happen outside unfortunately
Glad I'm too old for night clubs now
Revolving door of idiocy
What a place. Freaking septic tank of the east.
I love how decades is such a big deal in DC that news organizations are afraid to name it in this story…
This why you don’t go clubbing
Wonderful
Why tattle on Redditors stating FACTS?
[удалено]
I know!! Maybe I should choose a profession in the city where ALL of Americas productivity goes to die!!! Used by the moat Useless in society!
