Will wonders never cease, part 4
Via Snowflakes in Hell comes this pdf of the House Demos' proposal for a restoration of DC gun rights bill.
It has ambiguities, as might be expected, but does do away with the semiauto ban, and forbids the city to "unduly burden" firearms rights. It also *appears* (don't have time to research the DC Code) to repeal registration except as to NFA-type firearms, and to allow DC residents to purchase in VA and MD.

Leaves the "restricted pistol bullet" ban.
I don't have time cross reference everything but I think there's still a lot of crud in there.
How much you want to bet we'll see a last-minute Hughes Amendment, when this hits the floor?
I suggested to my Congressional rep that he add an amendment legalizing concealed carry in DC ;-)
Just as an aside though. I asked him to support the bill.
No private party sales in DC.
It appears to be shall issue firearm dealer licensing. Well, not quite, but the burden is on the city to say why they refused it.
