Important Gun Vote In The Senate

Gun Owners of America
2/24/2009

An amendment to repeal the onerous gun ban in the District of Columbia may come to the floor of the Senate as early as tomorrow, Wednesday, February 25.

Senator John Ensign (R-NV) plans to file the amendment to the so-called D.C. Voting Rights Act.

After the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Heller striking down Washington’s gun ban as unconstitutional, the city council passed a gun control law that was almost as restrictive as the old one.

To simply possess a firearm in the nation’s Capitol City, a resident must:

• Take a five hour training course
• Re-register any firearms every three years
• Undergo an invasive background check every six years
• Pass a 20 question multiple choice test designed by bureaucrats based on the city’s convoluted law
• Pay a registration fee
• Have all handguns undergo a ballistics test
