During a question and answer session in the Oval Office on Friday, President Donald Trump reignited the hot button debate over gun rights by offering a bold proposal to expand nationwide concealed-carry laws to cover Washington, D.C.

President Trump articulated the need for the provision to include the nation’s capital so residents have the ability to protect themselves in a city that has been overrun with violent crime for several years.

“People have to be able to protect themselves, especially like in Washington, you walk down the street, a guy comes up and slugs you. He’s got a pistol in his hand. You can be tough, you’re going to be in great shape, you can be a powerful person, or you can be a guy that weighs 100 pounds with a gun in your hand, and I’ll bet on the guy with the gun 100% of the time, right? And so you need protection. So I’m a Second Amendment person all the way,” Trump said in the clip.

The push for concealed-carry in D.C. lines up with the president’s wider agenda to help improve public safety and restore law and order in America’s biggest cities. In March 2025, the president signed an executive order designed to increase the presence of law enforcement and expedite concealed carry permits in D.C.

It’s a move Trump intended to address crime in the nation’s capital head-on. The order also created a task force to streamline the permit process, ensuring that residents could exercise their constitutional rights without enduring undue delays from bloated bureaucracy.

I imagine the demographic shift of Concealed Carry would be upsetting to certain segments of the population that already have no problem with the law say-so in the matter.

Want to cement the crime, make it where you can lawfully "DEFEND" oneself from those that brandish weapons in threatening manners. Even if they are running the opposite direction by the time one gets a bead on them. The arguement that "they are trying to get away" does little comfort to those that realize they will be coming back later for revenge because they didn't get their way the first time.

Stop the silly "it is just stuff that can be replaced" argument and remind folks that what may seem like "just stuff" to one party may be a generational hard fight for another to reattain. I am not a rich man, if someone is stealing my tools from my shed, it is not something I would take lightly because it was hard fought to obtain and I can't just go buy more. I can't afford to lose what took me a lifetime to build up to some person that wants to buy drugs and ship the drug money back to China/Mexico/South America.

Make crime pay enough with instant "karma", and young males actually pay attention. That includes the court system that has been plastered with liberal judges that care more for criminals than hard working Americans.
