This morning, on the local news, I heard about this:
Buying a ski mask isn't illegal, but could restricting their sale help prevent crime?As Duck says, "We are a sorry people"!
The notion is stirring debate among some Northwest Washington residents after reports of robberies committed by men wearing ski masks. The frequency of the robberies also has caught attention of police, who say one neighborhood crew is frequently purchasing masks at a local sports store for the express purpose of committing robberies.
"They clearly are a problem. Otherwise, we wouldn't see it being mentioned in all the reports," said Faith Wheeler, an Advisory Neighborhood Commission member from the Takoma neighborhood in Northwest.
[...]
On a Metropolitan Police Department-run listserv, Ms. Wheeler was one of several people who broached the subject of trying to discourage the sale of ski masks in the neighborhood, or asked legislators whether there are other ways to ban their sale....

And after they manage to ban the sale of them??
"Hey Grandma, can you knit me a few ski masks for Christmas please?"
When will these libturds ever learn that crooks will ALWAYS get guns and they will ALWAYS get ski masks(if they want them) no matter how many laws we have against it.
Well, first we'll take away the people's right to self-defense and rely instead on the police department. When that doesn't work, we'll ban ski-masks. When that doesn't work, we'll simply put everyone who isn't a rabid Marxist into a concentration camp. Problem solved.
There's just no such thing as too much government, eh?
Good thing I have mine already. Oh no, what if they make it illegal to rob a bank while wearing one? I guess I'll just have to obey the law.
Silly, isn't it? That's what we have come to be -- a SILLY people.
Not you and the Mrs, Mr. AOW. ;-)
Why not just use Halloween masks?
Duck,
Believe it or not, the District of Columbia already has some kind of anti-Halloween-masks legislation.
Sheesh. To hell with common sense...
When the only tool in your toolbox is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail...
So much for DC "solutions"...
When you outlaw ski mask, only outlaws will have ski masks.
We should only outlaw assualt ski masks.
