Irony at it's finest

Found this at knoxnews.com...........

Guns in DC

So, how does one lawfully get guns into DC? Even after Heller takes effect, it's a tough issue due to zoning: Washington has no federally licensed gun stores, so nowhere in the city can residents buy a handgun legally.
Not true, really. There is one licensed firearms dealer in the city. One Josh Sugarmann of the anti-gun shill group the Violence Policy Center.
They can be reached at:
Violence Policy Center
1730 Rhode Island Avenue, NW
Suite 1014
Washington, DC 20036
phone (202) 822 8200
Ask them what they're charging for transfers. If they say they don't do them, remind them that, thanks in part to their kind's lobbying efforts, it is typically viewed a violation of federal law to hold an FFL and not be in the business of dealing firearms.

I was talking to a firearms distributor the other day, and he said something about there being 2 gun shops in DC. Who knows? Either way, they have the possibility to do some serious business now.

So does this mean that DC residents cant even go into virginia and legally buy a gun?


If thats the case then we now know how they intend to keep DC gun free.. by not granting any ffl licenses.
