A DC Youth Explains Why He is Packing a Gun!

DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier is putting a Gun Recovery Unit on the streets to try and combat the escalating killings and woundings...many of them with teens and young adults as victims and assailants.
Back in the 1990's these cops which included the Delta Unit in Southeast under Lieutenant Lowell Duckett were effective. They captured a lot of guns and locked up a lot of people ...
Before the new Gun recovery Unit hits the streets, the undercover cops might want to give a listen to what a really young crack dealer told me while pulling a gun out of his jeans...
I don't know who the kid was or if he is still alive...I've prayed that he survived the streets...returned to school and maybe found his way into college or some trade; but how likely is that?

The gun unit was great. I was a juror on a drug dealing case they made. Following the guns is a way to get to other criminal enterprises. Many busts are not for gun possession alone.
I have been hearing that younger thugs are maximizing their investments by renting guns to others for specific jobs, good economics but bad for the community. Get one gun, you prevent crimes by multiple actors and may trace crimes by several hands.
