Maybe with the right to representation they will get the second amendment provision passed.

What I have to do since I now live in DC. I just need to type up a letter saying its for official use. Shooting it is training, so thats official. Then my Commander signs it. Thats for LEO purchase. I don't know what Military has to do.
If my boss was at the Range that day he would of done it right there. The Gun shop actually had a letter on hand we could of used.
But it was the first time I was ever denied buying a Firearm. You don't think much about it until it actually happens to you. Kind of scary.
DC did get their Gun Ban lifted a little while back. But the City Council quickly stepped in and passed all kinds of restrictive rules making it difficult to do so. Somewhere on here the rules for purchasing a Gun in DC are posted.
