So what happens when you buy a gun in D.C. on the CA approved list, and the manufacturer stops making it and doesn't try to get it on the CA list again?

Do the D.C. police knock on your door and ask for it back?

I think you would be grandfathered to own it but then prohibited to transfer it to anyone (including your spouse or child at death) to anyone but a dealer - clcik on those two bills and see for yourself but i think that is the way teh scheme will work.

The City of Washington D.C. is a national JOKE. The pinheads that run the place want Statehood or, failing that, a vote for their delegate.

Solutions to this have included ceding the District back to Maryland (which does not want it) to one truly radical proposal that Arlington County Va and parts of the city of Alexandria be re-taken to form the original District. (Over my and countless other Virginians' dead bodies, and literally and no fooling!)

Remember "Moosylvania", the fictitious border territory in "Rocky and Bullwinkle" that was the source of tensions between Canada and the USA because niether one wanted to claim the &^%*hole? THAT'S Washington D.C. vis a vis Maryland and our Beloved Commonwealth.

Gun laws are just the tip of the iceberg. For my money it would be dandy if the whole place were walled off Berlin-style and the bridges and Metro tunnels blown up. An F-5 tornado could hit the place and do a couple trillion dolars in improvements, if you ask me.
