How many homicides are committed in Washington DC in a year?

So far, according to the police's website, there has been 65 through May. Down 1 from last year. (why the website says -2 just proves more things)

In comparison, as of April, Omaha had 11, equal to last year.

Omaha operates under the state's concealed-carry law. Washington DC, twice the size of Omaha, had 6 times the homicide rate. They operate under a total gun ban.

Sorry, Obama...once again, the liberal theory flies into the wall of the real.

On how many issues are the liberal intellectual 'theories' about how things should work fail? Gun control is but just one of those areas. But why the RNC, McCain, and those wealthy enough to be able to help them make ad buys do not act on this sort of information is beyond me. I am beginning to hark wistfully back to the days of 'straight talking' Ross Perot. Though I think the man was crazy, he at least put the statistics in front of people.
