Looks like the D.C. Voting Rights activists are blaming the NRA because they don’t want to follow the constitution. I also love the overblown rhetoric:
The D.C. Voting Rights Act was poisoned by a gun amendment that would strip the District of its gun laws and remove the city’s authority to enact gun legislation in the future, effectively placing this historic bill in limbo. It will take political courage by Republican members of Congress and Blue Dog Democrats to unclog the NRA’s stoppage of our legislative system.
The implication is that Washington D.C. will have no gun laws, which is not true, and is misleading. This amendment would make D.C.’s gun laws roughly identical to those of Virginia, which I would point out has a fraction of the crime that Washington D.C. does.
