D.C. gun banners modify ban list as result of SAF lawsuit

By Jim Shepherd

Yesterday, firearms regulations in Washington, D.C. were amended by emergency order. That amending process came in response to a federal suit filed by the Second Amendment Foundation challenging the arbitrary nature of previous regulations enforced in the District.

Huh?

OK, plain English: the lawsuit asserted the D.C. list of approved handguns was inadequate. As in unacceptable because it followed the California list of approved firearms, which is also unacceptable. That list, FYI, included guns that were not approved for what was nothing more than cosmetic items, some as insignificant as color.

As a result, citizens who had previously been denied the chance to register their handguns will be invited to re-apply under the new guidelines. Those include information from the "safe gun rosters" used in Maryland and Massachusetts.

Alan Gura, attorney for the SAF, says the decision is a victory, but the goal was not to stop until "this list is scrapped."

Go get, 'em, Alan.
