Fox News has noticed the D.C. gun crackdown story that the blogosphere noticed two weeks ago. They do advance the story slightly with this gem, though:
[Police Chief] Lanier is optimistic that the program will achieve its most basic goal: ferreting out illegal guns while making the most of a limited police budget. “It is not costing us anything,” she said. “I think this is a great use of resources.”
What? Unless the police are doing this after-hours and off-the-clock, which they obviously are not, this is certainly costing something. (Never mind the flyers, legal fees, etc.) So Lanier evidently believes one of two things: (1) everyone is awfully stupid, or (2) her police have nothing else that they might be doing.
