DC rejects Heller's handgun permit application

[Little-Acorn]

It's a pretty common method of surreptitious "gun control". If the courts say you have to allow people to have guns, you say, "Fine, but we'll just require them to apply for permits first." Then you start rejecting the permits for every excuse under the sun.

The guy at the center of the recently-decided Supreme Court case DC v. Heller, applied for his permit, for a handgun that holds 7 cartridges in the clip. It was probably a 1911 .45 pistol, developed in that year and one of the most common handguns in the country. It fires one shot every time you pull the trigger, as most handguns do.

DC rejected his application, and informed him the reason was, that gun was a "machine gun".

Boy, the liberal gun-grabbers who run that town, are trying every excuse in the books, to disobey the 2nd amendment's clear language AND the Supreme Court's clear order.

Maybe we should divert the National Guard troops that Chicago's mayor says he needs to control crime in Chicago, and send them to DC instead, to control the DC City Council?

DC Rejects Handgun Application

Posted By: Daniel Guzman 2 hrs ago

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- District residents can start registering their guns today. But at least one very high profile application was already rejected.

Dick Heller is the man who brought the lawsuit against the District's 32-year-old ban on handguns. He was among the first in line Thursday morning to apply for a handgun permit.

But when he tried to register his semi-automatic weapon, he says he was rejected. He says his gun has seven bullet clip. Heller says the City Council legislation allows weapons with fewer than eleven bullets in the clip. A spokesman for the DC Police says the gun was a bottom-loading weapon, and according to their interpretation, all bottom-loading guns are outlawed because they are grouped with machine guns.

Yup, liberals don't want anyone to own a gun the fires a bullet when you pull the trigger. God forbid you might be able to defend yourself from some thug(s) trying to steal from you or kill you. In the event of something horrible happening to you and your family, you are instructed call the police (if you can get to a phone in time), and wait for the government to come rescue you. Get used to it, this will be the way things are in the United Sates of Obama.

Well then.............a cannon should be considered a black powder gun, which it is and be allowed in the front yard of every American household. There are no limits on black powder guns, you don't have to register them. It loads from the front, fires only one shot and meets the criteria that the socialist DC council is trying to shove down their city's citizens throats.

Not at my house:laugh2:

Liberals want a 6-shot Revolver that fires a cartridge carrying with it a message of dialog and understanding and mutual respect. The second shot apologizes if the first shot offended them. The third shot carries a request by all the law-abiding citizens in the area, asking the perp to PLEASE stop raping or stealing or attacking. The forth shot replaces the question mark at the end of the 3rd shot's message with a exclamation point. The fifth shot carries with it Inspectors from outside your house to verify the raping, stealing, or attacking is in fact, taking place AND does violate the law. The sixth shot has a rubber bullet.

And since it's a good idea to carry a revolver with the hammer down on an empty chamber, you are forbidden to load that sixth shot. :cheers2:
