By design
Shot down: D.C. residents unable to register handguns. Seems the only dealer in DC leaving has created a problem:
Grassley, after learning there’s a de facto gun ban in place because the one man who could facilitate handgun ownership in Washington has stopped taking registration orders after losing his office lease, said the D.C. government needs to take action.
He says it’s “absolutely wrong” that D.C. residents currently can’t buy a gun legally and bring it home.
Grassley says “let the city government do the licensing, if you don’t have a licensed dealer.”
The Violence Policy Center does have an FFL. Give them a call and see if they’ll do your lawful transfer.

I’m going to get in touch with my Congress critters. Since they do have ultimate authority over DC, perhaps they can slip in a law that DC residents can buy firearms in Virginia and/or Maryland…….
