"Emily gets her gun"

Interesting set of articles documenting the tangled path and obstructionism one must navigate in order to exercise a Civil Right in the nations' capitol.

First article is at the bottom, reverse chronological order going up the page.



"I want a gun. I don't feel safe living in Washington, D.C. and want to protect myself. I'm starting today by going down to City Hall to find the gun permit office to tell them, "I want a gun." This series will follow me as I navigate the city bureaucracy and outdated rules in order to legally buy a firearm.

My desire for a gun started when I had to face down over a dozen criminals on an empty cul de sac in Washington, D.C., armed only with a Blackberry.

It was New Year's Day 2010, and I'd been staying in the house to dog sit for friends who were on vacation. I'd returned from walking the dog when I saw a man coming from the house. "What are you doing?" I asked, sensing something was off with the situation. The Golden Retriever just stood next to me with a slack leash."




""Emily gets her gun" is a new series following senior editor Emily Miller as she legally tries to get her hands on a gun in the nation's capital."

Because otherwise, they're rolling with the genetic fallacy...

a machine gun at a gun show without any questions (they have) or claim conversion kits are unregulated and easy to find online, that makes it automatically true, just that no one has told ATF yet.
Genetic fallacy. Antis can't work without fallacies. Oh yeah, AP is owned by the Moonies too.

Moonies have a "win-win" going here.

AP is "a cooperative owned by its contributing newspapers, radio and television stations in the United States," according to Wikipedia. Given that UPI is the second-largest US-based wire service, I suspect the Moonies would run afoul of anti-trust legislation if they also owned AP.

That's really off-topic here.

marketers do when they develop those ads for the tactical, survival, strategic, etc., guns that make you guys go nuts.

Mary Hanchett Hunt would not approve of such slackness. The burden of Scientific Disarmament Instruction is on your shoulders!

...or do you just assume that since she is taking the time to go through the process, she must be an NRA plant, put in place solely to undermine your cause?

And you claim we have issues....

Sheesh.
