That’s VA. OP is in MD

Many sellers aren’t that picky.

Freedom is scary sometimes.

That’s not normal

I think it is. You would be never know unless we went to the range together. Otherwise I’m just another white collar professional living in a big suburban home in a nice neighborhood. But stigmatize all you want, it’s a good look for you.

Im stigmatizing and it’s a great look for anyone. Nobody needs a dozen firearms.

Isn't America great where need has nothing to do with what we choose to own and how we live our lives?

There are no gun shops in DC.

There is one licensed dealer, he has an office at one of the police stations. He does not keep any firearms in stock.

To buy a handgun you have to go through an arduous process of getting a permit from the DC police, ordering the gun then having it transferred to that dealer, then going though another waiting period and approvals from the DC police firearms officer before the dealer can release the handgun to you.

You have to do the same process for a long gun, but with a long gun you can go to Virginia and buy one from a dealer there after you get the permit from the DC police. You would have to buy it, and then return on a later date after the 10 day waiting period. You would then have to take it to the DC police to complete the registration.

All of the processes are exactly the same regardless of whether its a new or used gun, not sure where people got the idea that a used gun is any different legally. Direct person-to-person sales are prohibited in DC as well as interstate. Unless "used gun" is a euphemism for "illegal gun sale".

You are limited to 10 round magazines and of course no "assault weapons" are allowed in DC. Depending on what gun you are thinking about you'll have to make sure it has 10 round or less magazines available.

If you search for "Emily gets her gun", a reporter went through the whole process of trying to buy a gun in DC, you can read the whole saga. It's enough of a process that she wrote a book about it. The city government really doesn't want people to own guns, and most residents seem to agree with them.

OMG - these DC gun laws are completely Orwellian and ridiculous! I had no idea it was that bad. Why do people stand for this??

People are sheep for the most part and do what the authorities tell them
The only way DC gun laws will change is if Trump comes out and declares DC a gun free zone. That is al sad reality.

The people of DC voted for this. And the gun lobby was unsuccessful at opposing it, despite throwing $$$ into the issue.

Just like the people of South Carolina voted to own slaves.

Just like the people of Alabama voted to keep black folks out of public schools.

Just like the people of Kansas voted to not allow abortions.

Just like the people of North Carolina voted not allow gays and lesbians to marry.


You’re cut from the same exact cloth, PP. Just so you understand that about yourself.

This.

If Trump came out tomorrow and said he’d be going door to door taking guns in DC, DCUM libs would be demanding someone sell them a gun immediately.

Sure, democracy is messy and sometimes there are screw-ups. But only a fool would cherry pick the worst screw-ups and use that to condemn democracy. Also, I don’t live in DC, just pointing out what happened.

You sure are ridiculous. Do you ever read your own posts and wonder, hey, are people laughing at my nonsense?

Yet that’s EXACTLY what your ilk does with gun owners.

well, I guess we’ve determined what you are.

Except we both know it’s true.

You don’t even need to understand a topic. You can base your reaction simply as “the opposite of whatever drumpff wants”.

Your brain is binary.
