Yeah I heard about that. That's ridiculous. You mean to tell me out of a city of 600k+ people, you only have one person to register guns in the city? Well once this guy gets a new place, perhaps that could be an option for these owners, but I guess until then, they better get those cameras ready or start shooting bow and arrows.

I hate DC gun laws. Store owners need to be able to arm themselves.

As I understand it in the two years that DC residents have been able to register firearms this guy had about 1000 clients. Not much of a business.

You know what I was wondering, why hasn't anybody else anywhere thought of this up until now? I mean it wrong but that was a sound plan.
