People are already working on the argument that today semi-autos are the most common manufactured and purchased firearms that this entire class cannot be banned.

It seems DC has a ridiculous definition of a "machine gun' which includes any semi-automatic for which a magazine EXISTS with more than 20 round capacity.

This actually means that a military issue 7-round 1911 is a machine gun (only in DC) since SOMEWHERE there exists a 20+ round mag for it.

Note to self: Remember 10-year old daughter rule when thinking of Fenty and magazines.

I don't know. I think throwing him out of an airplane over Iraq would be a better object lesson for other elected officials.

Now that Heller won, maybe the NRA could restart the effort to just get Congress to override the entire DC gun control and even add CHL provisions.

(After all the NRA tried to do this to derail the Parker/Heller case.)

Now would be a good time to follow through...

I may have found an FFL gun dealer in DC but you will never guess who it is:

Please swallow any liquids and remove all foreign objects from your mouth before proceeding.

The quintessence of hypocrisy?

Josh Sugarmann, head of Violence Policy Center, has a Federal Firearm Dealer's license. The business address is VPC's headquarters in D.C.. Which, if I recollect DC law correctly, means VPC is exempt from the handgun ban they defend."

If this doesn't cause you to laugh, then have someone check you for a pulse.


PS: There may be others but this is the ONLY ONE listed on http://www.gunbroker.com/User/FFLByState.asp for DC.

It's not clear there ARE any such dealers.

I cannot (so far) find any by Googling -- I suspect that there are none for the public.

Also, you must still REGISTER your firearm* but you cannot buy one out of state, and if you cannot buy one locally, Catch-22

*Mayor Fenty gave the police chief 21 days for "new regulations in accord with the decision." That doesn't mean they will be reasonable regulations.
