Full blown hysteria

The VPC is asking the Washington Redskins to Withdraw From Shooting Fundraiser With National Rifle Association as NRA Lobbies on Capitol Hill to Overturn D.C.’s Gun Laws . Their list of grievances:

The letter notes that the National Rifle Association is currently lobbying Congress to overturn Washington, D.C.’s gun laws.

That’s a good thing.

The bills to repeal the District of Columbia’s gun laws promoted by the NRA would: legalize handguns

Well, the murder capital of the world doesn’t seem to have a handgun shortage, currently. They’re just in the wrong hands.

as well as semiautomatic assault weapons

There is no such thing. That arbitrary illegal construct has disappeared at the federal level and only banned cosmetic features when in place.

and 50 caliber sniper rifles;

Which have been used exactly how many times in a crime?

allow any person to carry, openly or concealed, loaded handguns and other concealable firearms in houses, places of business, or other land “possessed by that person”;

Oh my God! People can have guns in their homes and on their property! Just like most other places in the country.

and, severely weaken the District’s ban on armor-piercing handgun ammunition.

There’s a federal ban on that stuff, folks.

    DC has an interesting way of dealing with semiautomatics. They are classified, in legal terms, as ……..’machine guns’. Yup. You read it right.

  2. Marc Says:

    “Sniper” is a word the VPC is trying to turn into the next antigun meme, much like the term “Assault Weapon” and should treated as such.

  3. Phelps Says:

    Uhhh… is it a ban on purchasing, or possession of AP ammo? Because, you know, I might need to know. Where to store it, I mean.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
