Crime rates in the nation’s capital are the lowest they have been in decades, and have decreased dramatically over the last two years.

    In the PNW you can buy AR-15s, shotguns, rifles, semi-auto pistols, and more.

    I think you’re confusing PNW with New York or some other location with “strict gun control”, which really just means that you travel to another state to purchase firearms anyway.

    Firearm sales have tripled since 2000, that’s our bread and butter.

      What? You got AWB and high cap mag bans…and 3 day waiting periods…you do have some of the strictest gun control on the books.

      Idaho is the only place that has very little gun laws, but the majority of the left doesn’t live there.

      Idaho has voted red for decades now, so please don’t tell me there are tons of lefties there…

        Yeah, I don’t think being able to buy an AR-15 with a 3-day wait is “strict gun control”, but you can believe that if you’d like.

        It’s, like, the exact opposite of strict gun control. That’s a gun delay, oh no

          Yea…so you ignored everything I posted. We weren’t talking about a single law. We were comparing the rest of the states with the PNW. Having a waiting period is still gun control and just for the record…does absolutely fuck all to curb gun violence.
