Courthouse Fanatic had a great post today regarding Illegal Guns in DC… The post says it all.
Can you spot what’s illegal on my H&K 45C?
Yeah, I didn’t think so but according to the bleeding hearts in Washington DC my 45C would be violating at least 3 of their newly “revised” D.C. gun laws. The emergency legislation approved this week by the D.C. Council and Mayor Adrian M. Fenty (D) shows a total disregard of the recent Heller vs DC Supreme Court ruling.
1.) My gun is a semi-automatic - the new rules would still ban any “bottom-loading” semi-automatic handgun. Supreme Court ruled that D.C. could not ban handguns.
2.) My gun is loaded - D.C. residents must keep their weapons unloaded and either disassembled or equipped with trigger locks until they are in imminent danger from an attacker in the home. Justice Antonin Scalia wrote that the “prohibition against rendering any lawful firearm in the home operable for the purpose of immediate self-defense” violates the Second Amendment. Can’t you just imagine this scenario as the burglar breaks in “Mr. attacker could you wait just a minute while I reassemble and load my gun?”
3.) My gun has not been tested by local police - every gun submitted for licensing must be test-fired by police ballistics experts. This violates a congressional ban on federal agencies creating any kind of gun owner registry.
