Andrea Joy Campbell: “This appeared this morning, and is a story about seven people slain in violence in the last 36 hours in Washington, DC…”

On the recordJune 5, 1997
This appeared this morning, and is a story about seven people slain in violence in the last 36 hours in Washington, DC, four or more wounded in just that same 36-hour period. And I would point out that this is a city that has the tightest gun control laws in the Nation, so tight in fact that not a Senator or Congressman, not a Supreme Court Justice, for that matter, can carry a concealed weapon. It seems like only the bad guys can carry them in this town.
