If their definition holds then I would simply buy a 50mm that loads its ammunition from the top and its projectiles (bullets for those in Rio Linda) are held together by a bandallero in a box of 500 + and can be fired at 100 rounds per minute.

The only limiting factor of this weapon is that it is difficult to conceal but legal by D.C. definitios.

We have to start somewhere. Hopefully D.C. will quit selecting the rights it believes people ” should ” have.

“….Shall NOT infringe…” is pretty clear.

And yes, the exit of self-selecting thugs and hoodlums from the gene pool IS a feature, not a bug for a truly civilized society. Back a century ago people didn’t lose any sleep over the demise of burglars who encountered armed home owners, or bandits who made the mistake of annoying well armed express messengers. If the concern about encountering armed citizens causes some of DC’s less successful residents to leave, or change their choice of criminal occupations, that is a net gain.

That may be the only revolver he owned. If I understand it correctly, it’s almost impossible to bring a gun into D.C. legally. Can’t buy one in another state and carrt it in, and no D.C. FFL’s willing to do the transfers.

What I wonder is, can the D.C. pols be charged with contempt of SCOTUS?

If you get the answering machine, leave us a message and we’ll get back to you…”

Pathetic.

You do know that street punks are victims of society, and muggings, armed robberies, and home invasions are simply an extreme form of performance art to dramatize their plight at the hands of those more fortunate that they are, don’t you?

/do I really need the “sarc” tag?

Or at least, that’s how they are viewed by the “enlightened elite’”, who never need to worry about the D.C. authorities refusing their hired thugs bodyguards permits for their Mini-Uzis and Glock 18 machine pistols.

After all, they are constantly under threat- from the rest of us. (In their own bizarre, narcissistic, histrionic imaginations, at least.)

And don’t like even being bothered by street mimes, let alone the “oppressed youth” of the District.

Michael Savage said it best – “Liberalism is a form of mental illness.”

Happy for the ol’timer, but sad that this isn’t the victory I hoped it would be.

HEY! He’s not that old – Dammit!

End of story.

Victory? Hmmmm. Interesting in that Heller did get a permit from the Washington, D.C. police to keep a gun in his home but according to SFGate, his permit I don’t think is for the gun he wanted to register.
He won approval to keep a .22-caliber r…

I’d say, go with an 8 round S&W or Taurus revolver.

They can be pretty fast.

How many chambers in the cylinder though? I bet he can put ‘em all into a quarter at 10 yards ;-) That’s lethal right there!

He’s a law abiding citizen. This is another example of liberals putting restrictions on honest citizens that they know criminals won’t abide by.

If I ever have to move to DC it will be with my entire gun collection and to heck with their registration process.

Not much in the way of defense. I would have at least gone with .44 mag like Dirty Harry!

:)

S.F. Bay area when a criminal gets shot or killed by police, or a store or homeowner trying to protect themselves, it’s a “tragedy”.

One less Democratic voter. Of course it’s a tragedy.

I wonder if “pump-action Super Soakers” fall in that category…

Probably… but if it could be loaded with another wet substance and shot… would it be concidered a “WMD”?
