DC Gun Laws Halted: Second Amendment Concerns | JQJO

D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro has instructed prosecutors to stop pursuing felony charges against individuals carrying registered rifles and shotguns, citing concerns that the city's gun laws violate Second Amendment rights. This follows concerns from the Justice Department's solicitor general about the laws' infringement on Supreme Court rulings. Pirro emphasizes that prosecutions for illegal firearms and felons in possession of firearms will continue. The policy change affects a D.C. statute barring carrying shotguns or rifles without permits.
