This happened a couple of weeks ago, but I just heard about it.

Sounds like a dumping ground for weapons used for illegal reason.

But considering how close this is to D.C., it's a bit unnerving.

Yes, it is Neb, but DC has always been a very high crime area.  Out of 100, where 100 is the safest city, DC rates 3

Possibly. But the location is the outer edge of NW DC, the wealthier part of town. The "murder capitol" aspect is SE DC.

Whomever dumped those must have forgot or maybe died before they could retrieve the cache. How would they otherwise not realize that that area would be investigated at the very least by secret service prior to the inauguration?

I agree D.C is dangerous. And all of it may be presumed so because the criminal element ventures forth into the wealthy area's there. When we went to visit friends I brought a gun for personal protection. This was back when it was illegal to have a firearm in D.C. Imagine that. Murder central even then and it was illegal to have a firearm. Meanwhile, criminals that have no respect for the law used illegal guns to make murder an issue of concern for everyone.

Gun control laws. It is about controlling the law abiding. Not the criminals that prey upon the unarmed.

is that canal always mostly dry now?  If it's on the border of the wealthy part of town, they man have stole the weapons and left them there until they could find a buyer.  It's common to do that so you don't get caught with stolen stuff like guns at home.....   that would carry a good sized jail time there.

Some parts are dry, other parts have water. There was water in the canal in the picture in the article. In any event, you could google earth Fletcher’s Cove and see the area for yourself in terms of what the neighborhood is like.

If you notice, it isn't that far from The Mall.

Since the Inauguration was approaching, my first thought was concern about that.

i understand and share your concerns....   there seems to be a lot of really crazy people out these days to add to the concern.
