Here they go again! NRA pushes repeal of D.C.'s gun laws
StopTheNRA [mailto:advocacy@stopthenra.com]
Emboldened by the expiration of the Assault Weapons Ban, the NRA is
carrying its extremist agenda into the heart of the Nation's
Capital. The Congress of the United States has the power to change
any local law in our Nation's Capital and is being pushed by the
NRA to repeal locally passed gun laws in Washington, D.C. and
prevent the city from enacting any gun laws in the future. On
Wednesday, the House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on
legislation that would repeal gun laws in the District of
Columbia.
Many Members of Congress are on record supporting this extreme
piece of legislation - they want more guns and even more assault
weapons on the streets. This bill would actually repeal the local
ban on assault weapons, and lacking voting representation in
Congress, the citizens of D.C. are powerless to stop it and need
your help.
