Given the extreme small amount of business that the sole FFL in DC has, I don't think the $125 is all that unreasonable. How many guns does a regular TX gun store sell in a year? This guy in DC has moved 550 units due to the insane amount of red tape and hoops to jump through. So he's made about $6K in a year operating his FFL business. I'd have to make about 20x that much in order to make it a lucrative idea to move to DC and set up shop.
Anyway, the whole thing is a complete ripoff, sham, and a mess. It's about like DC thinks they are a different country.
Actually 550 X 125 is more like 68k.
But I agree 100% with the last line of your assessment.
