There’s some evil people in the world. There’s even more of em in DC.
Move to the suburbs, sports teams.

I’m fine. But the 2 poor souls who tried to sell poor quality are in some pain right now.
Jesus, that’s 3.5 blocks from my apartment.
It is definitely still a “fringe” area.

Pro stadiums need to leave the cities and get away from subway systems. its getting to dangerous to go
Traffic for ye, but not for me...
I bet this happens at the Barons games all the time since they moved all the way to Birmingham.
maybe less people will get shot if no one goes to the games
Lol. I've been to several Nats games. It's a pretty nice area
yes, The stadium is nice. Personally, I wouldn’t go to a night game there not being a local.
Guns are too available in this country. Why are the amounts of gun related violence so incredibly high?
We all know that this was a false story because DC is a very gun controled city and guns can’t be there. Anyone who wants to do gun mischief would have realized this not gotten a gun.
Incredibly high amount of idiots in the world, stop reproducing I guess?

Gun violence is significantly lower now than it was 30 years ago. From the early 90s to the early 10s, gun deaths dropped by half, all while gun availability drastically increased. Gun violence has ticked up a bit very recently, primarily due to reduction in policing. The perception of gun violence has drastically increased because making people afraid of guns is a big part of the agenda of the people who control the vast majority of the flow of information in the country.
Seriously? The green line drops you right off at the stadium and there are tons of bars and restaurants right there too. It's quite safe. This whole event is pretty anamolous. When I lived in DC I used to bike down the Potomac and go to games
Please break down the percentage of gun owners who commit gun related crimes. Then further break this down between legally and illegally purchased firearms. Thank you.
The hee hawing ITT has reached an unacceptable decibel level. Please keep it down.

It is sadly hilarious to think back on all the threads about how Regions field was going to be a death trap. This thread reads like a senior citizens group on FB.
Speaking in terms of mass shootings only, in which 4 or more people were killed there are some stats available. Since the 1966 University of Texas sniper killings, 1,322 people have died in incidents by 189 shooters. 360 guns were used. 188 of those guns were obtained legally. 62 were obtained illegally and the rest were undetermined. The number of mass shooting victims is only a fraction of the number of killings.
since you like math do this, take out the gun violence in the gun free zones such as Chicago, Gary, St. Louis, LA, Baltimore, Detroit… - and tell us where we rank in the world in gun violence.
also tell us how many times a year guns are used to protect innocent people. As well as the number of times guns are used to stop evil people.
then we can talk.
You are right, they are available just as they should be. My safe does not have room for another gun and I have somehow managed to not shoot a single person nor participate in a random act of violence using any of them. The problem is some folks just don’t know how to act.
If gun ownership and possession are two different things (which I agree) then wouldn't that closely correspond to illegal vs legal purchasing? In other words, if I illegally purchase a gun on a black market and kill someone, that would be considered possession, not ownership. To me there is also no difference between someone stealing a gun and illegally purchasing a gun. I'm not sure if this is really pertinent though.
Because he’s the king of fallacious arguments. He knows you won’t complete such a tedious task for the sake of winning a political debate on a sports message board, and in his mind an unwillingness to do so validates his flimsy argument.
