Blog: Emily Miller gets her gun

[A-R]

Well Ms. Miller's series of articles seems to be paying off. DC council is set to vote on drastic (for them) revisions to their handgun permit/purchase/registration process, seemingly in direct response to her articles (tough realistically in respond to threats from Congress and the courts).

Nice job, Emily!

Still, seems discouraging they had to fight this hard to get these minuscule changes. Even if these changes are adopted, DC still has the most restrictive firearms laws in the country.

More good news from Ms. Miller...

Council bows to pressure, eliminates major hurdles to registration

Very good Ms. Miller.

I just heard about this article series today. I spent a few hours reading it all from the begining. This is a very good thing! I look forward to reading more about it.

So in other words the MPD is willfully and knowingly violating the law. This is exactly the type of government behaviour that the 2nd amendment is designed for. Granted this is nowhere near egregious enough to warrant armed revolt but it is still in the same vein. The wanton and blatant corruption that exists in some areas of this country is appalling.

Emily takes a DC 'Anti' (D.C. Council Chairman Kwame R. Brown) to the range -- a GREAT story!

“Not many Democrats here,” he said to me, laughing. No one in the store contradicted him.

[RoyGBiv]

was the range what he expected?

“No, actually it wasn’t. I figured you just go in and fire, no technique and just do it for the sake of saying you shot a gun,” he told me. “But I was really focusing on the target. It felt more like a sport. I wanted to make it a competition. If I spent some time in here, I think I’d be good,” he said. I agreed.

“But what I really want to do is learn to shoot a shotgun so I can go hunt,” he said.

I'll be sending Beelzebub a sweater. It must be a bit chilly down there today.

We'll see. The proof is how Councilman Brown actually votes on getting rid of the illegal D.C. rules regarding guns. I"ll give him credit for going to the range. What he has to do is to vote so that his constituents have the right to protect themselves by removing the laws that he and his colleagues have instituted in the past.

The bill to relax the registration laws officially passed city council full vote - unanimously.

I've read a good number of the posts now, and it's actually a bit horrifying. I thought it was bad in Cali, but jeez. The process she had to go through is just ridiculous. I'm glad to hear that the city council has voted for changes to this process.

This is another thing that makes me glad to live in TX, and it should be a warning to all of us about what government would do if we the people let it run unchecked.

Emily applied for a DC carry permit this week.

Good for her. The DC gun laws should be flushed down the tube

Just think without anti gunners sending her death threats, she wouldn't have a "reason" for the chief of police to grant her a carry permit.

Can't wait to hear his decision.

One of the few journalists I enjoy reading about.

I think snowballs have a better chance at meeting Beelzebub.
