Proposed D.C. gun law amendments still infringe on Second Amendment liberties
7:25 PM ET
Chris W. Cox [Executive Director, National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action]: "While a recent District proposal - passed only under the threat of congressional action - does make a few positive changes to its gun laws, it is still important for Congress to take strong action to restore the Second Amendment rights of District residents.
The D.C. Council's second "emergency" bill makes clear that it still intends to impose new limits on D.C. residents. For example, while the new D.C. bill would allow possession of semi-automatic firearms, it also bans standard-capacity magazines commonly used by law-abiding citizens for self-protection throughout the country.
