Jeanine Pirro Infuriates Gun Rights Advocates With Moronic' Threat to Jail Anyone Bringing a Gun to DC: Come and Take It!'

"This is about getting chronic offenders off the street. It's about making sure there are consequences when we do get them off the street, and it's about taking guns off the street. Now, since the surge happened, there have been 9,500 arrests and almost 1,000 guns taken off the street. When you do that, those guns cannot be used in homicides, or assaults with deadly weapons, or in any kind of carjacking, or any kind of robbery, she continued."

"What we've got now is a clear focus where my office, under my leadership, is now involved in making sure that only 10% of the cases go unprosecuted. My predecessor had 60% of the cases that went unprosecuted. My prosecutors know that they've gotta put a case together, they've gotta make it solid and we take it to court. We find the disruptors and those committing the violence, and we make sure that they are the ones who are accountable."

"Last December, a federal magistrate judge in D.C. lambasted the DOJ for a troublesome series of errors made by its prosecutors that were becoming an unfortunate broader pattern of unprecedented prosecutorial missteps resulting in a 21% dismissal rate of the D.C. U.S. Attorney's office's criminal complaints over eight weeks, compared to a mere 0.5% dismissal rate over the prior 10 years."

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro threatened jail for anyone who brings a gun into Washington, D.C., and credited a federal surge for a recent drop in violent crime, including a three-week homicide-free period. Pirro attributed the surge to resources from President Donald Trump and reported 9,500 arrests and nearly 1,000 guns seized. The office intends to reduce unprosecuted cases to 10%, down from a predecessor's 60%, and requires prosecutors to build solid cases. A federal magistrate judge previously criticized the DOJ for prosecutorial errors that produced a 21% dismissal rate over eight weeks.
