The headline,“D.C. Legislation Would Remove More Gun Limits” seems simple enough. Then you actually read what the DC Council is actually purposing.

“The council proposal does not give residents blanket approval to own semiautomatic pistols, which have become the most popular kinds of handguns. It would ban magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. It also would repeal a regulation barring a gun owner from registering more than one pistol. In addition, the legislation would do away with the requirement that handgun registrants submit their weapons to D.C. police for ballistics testing.”

The trimming off of a bit of window dressing, and little more.

Lets go back to what AG Nickles had to say in June,“Peter J. Nickles, the city’s acting attorney general, echoed other D.C. officials in June in saying that the District would continue to have tough firearms laws. “We are going to strictly regulate the registration of handguns,” he said at the time. “And there will be no authorization of automatics or semiautomatics.”. It would appear that the Attorney General’s office is in “duck&dodge” mode and will work in secret to keep as many restrictions on the Constitutional Rights of the residents of the District of Columbia as they can.

By all means, please read the whole article,and go back to June and see what the panjandrums of DC had to say about citizens and their rights.
