District Mayor Muriel Bowser said that she does not favor changing Washington's strict gun control laws to let people defend themselves from an "active shooter" because "I don't like guns."
Bowser, at a Monday press conference, told WMAL anchor/reporter Steve Burns that guns are not the answer to new comments from District Police Chief Cathy Lanier that those facing an "active shooter" should "take the gunman out." |

Lets us all wait patiently for the DC mayor to announce that she has ordered her protection detail to surrender their firearms. Fair for me but not for thee seems to be a common theme with some people, particularly entitled liberal Democrats. |

She seems to forget it is not about her personal "feelings, likes or dislikes" She is elected to serve the people and uphold the Constitution, not her dislikes! Clearly another mentally incompetent liberal that is unqualified to hold office! |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
