DC Police Department Becomes the District's Firearms Dealer!

Bearing Arms has the story. That the motivation is to avoid 2A lawsuits tells everything about how far we've come since Heller....

I am not wise in the ways of FFL law, how can the mayor decree that the popo are suddenly federally licensed to transfer firearms to the district residents? How can the selling dealers in VA or MD legally do these transfers without getting into trouble themselves?

Anyone want to bet that the MPD doesn't harass the crap out of anyone trying to transfer a firearm? Roadblocks and delays, etc.

In a semi-free economy when a business has crappy customer service people vote with their feet and wallets. Hard to do when the tyrants that want you dead have the monopoly on the business.

CS Exchange didn't 'abruptly' shutdown. He's been warning the city about this for some time. He simply has nowhere to put all the new guns coming in. His office is full to the gunwales. I saw it personally over the past year. The TRUE problem is that DC MPD has been INTENTIONALLY delaying new registrations. It used to be a 10 day wait, now they're stretching it out to be near 30 days. (It used to be you could order a gun online, and by the time the order was processed / shipped / arrived that was 10 days, and you could set up an appointment w/ charlie and pick it up and register it same day). DC INTENTIONALLY screwed that up. And demand is up. And the number of people trying to get carry permits is up - and that can be delayed more like 60 days. Between the two (delays and demand), the dealer is just overwhelmed by the volume and needs to work through the backlog. So he stopped accepting new transfers. The city is trying to blame this on the dealer and that's just BS.
