Another weekend is in the books. Whether you spent your time enjoying the Folklife Festival, D.C. United crushing the Los Angeles Beckhams, or just trying not to get a sunburn (we failed miserably on that one) – we’re sure that you’re ready for a little taste of the DCist Monday tradition of the week that was in comment-land.
Obviously, the biggest news this week was the ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court striking down the District’s gun ban. You weren’t short on words, as we expected. This week’s Comment of the Week comes from elbruce, who in the wake of all the gun hoopla, brings an interesting perspective:
Wait, guns weren’t legal in DC? As someone who just finished 30 days of grand jury duty where I heard over 80 cases, 75 pertaining to murder by a gun, it sure as hell seemed like they were, how else could everyone and his brother (and his sister…and his dog) in DC could get a gun no problem?
After the jump, more reactions to the gun issue – and the rest of the week in your comments.
