D.C. Gun Laws Failed Again at the Washington Hilton

Summary

An incident occurred on April 25, 2026, at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner at the Washington Hilton, where a suspect allegedly opened fire with a shotgun, wounding a Secret Service agent. The article argues that existing strict gun laws in California, where the suspect legally purchased firearms, and Washington D.C., where the incident occurred, failed to prevent the attack.
