This is a great opportunity for gun rights activists, whether DC residents or not, to make a public statement in regard to gun policy in DC.

Has this been posted in VA (especially northern), Maryland, and other nearby state forums?

They might be able to stack the numbers a bit. And it will definitely affect them if they travel to DC.

I've already passed this on to VCDL. If anyone wants to pass it on to other gun rights activists/organizations, too, that's fine.

Just be sure you use the updated version with the correct e-mail address for Victor Bonett of Councilmember Mendelson's staff. Again, that's: vbonett@dccouncil.us

I went back put that in bold just to be sure it's clear.

Also note that when you testify before the DC City Council, those who are OFFICIALLY testifying on behalf of an organization usually get 5 minutes to present their testimony. Those who testify as private citizens usually get 3 minutes to testify. There are times when the witness list has been very long, however, and everyone's time has been shortened.
