7. This is great.
D.C. is only putting off the inevitable.


In general, rifles, shotguns, revolvers, and handguns may be registered in
the District of Columbia. Per DC Official Code § 7-2502.02, as amended
by the Firearms Control Amendment Act of 2008, registration of the following
firearms is prohibited in the District of Columbia:

A semiautomatic pistol that has the capacity
to accept a detachable magazine and
any one of the following:
(aa) A threaded barrel, capable of accepting
a flash suppressor, forward
handgrip, or silencer;
(bb) A second handgrip;
(cc) A shroud that is attached to, or
partially or completely encircles, the
barrel that allows the bearer to fire
the weapon without burning his or
her hand, except a slide that encloses
the barrel; or
(dd) The capacity to accept a detachable
magazine at some location outside
of the pistol grip;

Am I correct in understanding that D.C. is STILL banning semi-auto handguns???? I see they took out the max "10" round magazine capacity in favor of ANY sort of magazine.

But isn't a HANDGUN BOTH a revolver and semi-auto since you hold them in your HAND?????
