LinkLinksOpinion Ian Urbina in The New York Times: My Father, a Judge, Said a Gun Control Case Was One of His Hardest. Now I See Why. By Editor On Sep 9, 2018 Last updated Sep 9, 2018 90 Share WASHINGTON — Though I’ve been lucky to have been insulated from gun violence most of my life, it was at the core of the identity of my hometown, Washington, D.C. According to a study by the Pew Research Center, Washington recorded more killings per capita in a year than any other American city eight times between 1985 and 2012, earning the nickname “murder capital.” The city’s homicide rate peaked in 1991 when there were 482 killings, or about 80 for every 100,000 people.
