D.C.’s Mayor, Vincent Gray Holds up Gun Rights  The Washington Times reports
While the city council voted unanimously on April 17 in favor of a bill to ease restrictions on Second Amendment rights, Mayor Vincent Gray has not signed the bill into law.
...gun owners are still forced to have their guns photographed and shot for a ballistics test and pay to have an application document notarized. Residents and nonresidents risk a felony charge for possessing ammunition that is not in the same gauge and caliber as a registered gun.
Does that sound so tough? Are those requirements such that Washington D.C. is considered to have the toughest gun laws in the country?
This is one of the favorite ploys of the gun-rights argument: exaggeration. They love to feign outrage and pretend that reasonable restrictions like these are outrageous.
They're not. That much is obvious.
