It costs about $700 and probably the better part of a year (sometimes more, apparently) to get citizenship. How long does it take to register a gun in DC? To my understanding, roughly about two weeks.
What makes you think it takes a year to get a handgun in DC? And please don’t point me to that moron Emily Miller’s blog posts from ten years ago or whatever. First, she’s a moron who is obviously incompetent at everything that adults can do, and second, it is totally out of date.
There’s hardly any market here for gun sales. Taxpayers are subsidizing the FFL who handles the transfers, for crying out loud. Are you upset that DC residents aren’t buying more guns to be able to sustain a gun store?
I’m perfectly happy to have a gun store in DC if taxpayers don’t have to subsidize another business. But as it stands, I don’t think that any business owner has the desire to open up an obviously money-losing business in this location.
