On Monday, the Supreme Court released its decision in the case of Abramski v. United States. The case involved a police officer, Bruce Abramski, who bought a gun, a Glock 19 handgun, for his uncle. The officer, who is a federally licensed dealer and could get a discount on guns, bought the gun in Virginia and they transferred the gun to his uncle through a second licensed dealer in Pennsylvania, where his uncle lives. The Obama administration successfully prosecuted Abramski for two felonies: for lying on the federal background check for when he denied that he was making a straw purchase and for providing that same false information to the gun dealer who sold the gun to Abramski.

CPRC’s John Lott discussed the decision with Jim Bohannon on Monday, June 16th from 10:35 to 11 PM (audio available here).

So is there really a question of whether Trump reduced crime in DC? Did the Washington Post inaccurately report murder data to make the drop look smaller than it actually is?

The Washington Post doesn't really want to give President Trump credit for the drop in crime in DC. Please look at the graph above and notice that there was a discrete change in August and September 2025 (and the change only started about half way through August on...
