The original case didn’t bring the subject up, so the SCOTUS couldn’t rule on concealed (or for that matter, open) carry.

And for a shotgun, consider the double barrelled. With 3 inch magnums, and number 1 shot you get 25 each .30 caliber projectiles. Twice.

Unless that makes it a machinegun….

semi-automatic handguns are illegal.

well, I guess my sale is off. At least till we get this one thrown out – and it looks like I may have a willing client, provided, someone else doesn’t get there first.

Much easier to read/search/scrape.

Any semi-automatic firearm that can fire or could be made/restored to fire more than 12 rounds without being manually reloaded is illegal.

While noted above, add that this is from the DC law about machine guns and covers just about everything with any type of magazine – they may be hard to find and quite impractical but fifteen-round mags for the 1911 do exist, which makes any 1911 handgun a “machine” gun. And the same could be done for any magazine-fed semiauto, even the tube-fed ones.

Here we go! “The sale of handguns is prohibited within the District of Columbia.”

I took him to the range and set up a rig with a Varminter rest, my 10/22, and a red dot sight. After he shot for about an hour I asked him if he needed anything. His answer was “more ammo.”

I also wonder if the Mateba (or a Webley-Fosberry) wouldn’t be the perfect tool for this, being both a revolver and a semiautomatic.

Then again, presumably the courts will slap them down anyway, so maybe it’s not crucial.

Criminals will of course have anything they want.

2. NFA and semi-automatic handguns are illegal.

Only YOU are prohibited from having them. Criminals and police will have them.

3. You must be 21 or older to register ANY firearm.

Unless you’re a criminal, in which case you won’t register anything.

4. Anyone found guilty of any prostitution-related offense is disqualified from registering a firearm. (Never heard of this restriction in any other state before..!)

If prostitition laws don’t stop you, gun laws won’t stop you either.

5. Cost is $13 per firearm plus a $35 fingerprinting fee and it can take up to 14 days to get the registration through.

Except for criminals, who will get their guns cheap, pay no fees, with no fingerprinting, and without waiting.

IMO, whoever wrote these rules, and especially anyone who would consider them seriously, is mentally unfit to serve, ipso facto.

Anyway, you’re in this fight for the RKBA thingy for the long haul, right. Let’s get started suing

So to challenge the semi auto ban you would have to what?

1. Smuggle in a Glock, because Josh Sugarman can’t sell you one.
2. Try to register the firearm under D.C.’s planned amnesty program within the time window.
3. Have it confiscated and have yourself thrown in jail
4. Sue

Any other ideas?

Owning a gun in the District of Columbia is an awesome responsibility.

Awesome, man.

registering your firearm is not only your duty, it’s the law

Writing stupid pamphlets is not only in their job description, it’s just part of their job.

When Virginia got discreet carry permits, the northern VA counties had some PITA “shall-issue” license forms. They were asking for the address of neighbors you have had for the past decade and stuff like that. I don’t recall how exactly they got bitch-slapped over that, but I understand the requirements aren’t that bad in VA anymore.

Anyway, you’re in this fight for the RKBA thingy for the long haul, right. Let’s get started suing.

that first point is just begging for somebody to try and register a Mateba.

I don’t think they’d notice, or know, the difference. The semi-auto ban is there to stop the ever-deadly fast reloading or normal capacity magazines, not to add a bit of trigger draw distance. Stupid, stupid crap.

Wonder where you get a hard copy of this? Big fun.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Someone register one of these.

DC doesn’t want their police officers getting shot by their bichez:

Unfortunately, I think the answer is yes.

It would be nice if Fenty could be cited for Contempt of Court, but I don’t know if it works that way with SCOTUS.

Also, do challenges to specifics such as “no semi-auto handguns” (lol) have to make their way back through the court system to the supreme court, or is there a more direct route to protest that this doesn’t meet the standards established by the ruling?

…And what test?

Must not suffer from a physical defect which would make it unsafe for you to possess and use a firearm safely and responsibly.

these doofi must have a getting-sued and losing-in-court fetish.
