On a good day, purchasing a firearm as a resident of Washington, D.C. requires a lot of paperwork. Oh, and a $125 transfer fee plus another $50 or so to register your gun with the police department.
But since March 14th, it’s been impossible to get the transfer done because the District’s only Federal Firearms Licensee, Charles Sykes, decided to close up shop because he became overwhelmed with business due to the COVID-19 gun boom.

Oh, you know it's going to take "several months" to get this up and running.
ReplyDeleteThis is against Federal Law. The Dept is not a registered FFL and cannot transfer purchases. Each officer that does this will be committing a Federal felony.
ReplyDeleteDraconian gun laws in Washington D.C. is one great reason not to live there. The other is it's infested with politicians.
ReplyDeleteThat's not all the District is infested with...
Delete"Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice." These days, "Justice" is a leftist code word.

(Code Word.)
When do we want it?
Now!
Cut out a small Federal enclave with no residential property except for the White House. Give the rest of DC to Maryland. This solves many problems and puts the DC statehood movement to bed.
