In sum, then, out
of the original 5,558 individuals arrested for CPWL over a five-year period, only 97 (1.7%) were given a prison sentence for carrying a pistol without a license. Even if one assumes (although I don’t know why one would) that the 279 pending cases and 85 cases in which a sentence has not been imposed will all result in a conviction and prison sentence for a CPWL offense, the percentage would still be pitifully low.........
only 1.7% were given a prison sentence for carrying a pistol without a license
These mind-boggling and shameful statistics expose a sclerotic criminal justice system that doesn’t take
gun crimes seriously. Unless and until that happens, D.C. will remain a long way off from being the safest city in the country.
