WASHINGTON (CBSDC) — Big changes for gun owners in the nation’s capital will impact tens of thousands of law-abiding citizens, many of whom have no idea the change is coming.

The new requirement for gun owners in the District goes into effect next year and failure to comply could mean jail time.

Starting Jan. 1 all registered gun owners in D.C. must re-register their firearms within 90 days. D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier says notices will start going out to gun owners soon.

The penalties for not re-registering a gun range from a $13 fine to a $1,000 fine and a year in jail, according to an MPD spokesperson.

Amazing.

That almost sounds like an infringement.

I doubt there are “tens of thousands” of gun owners in DC. Even after the Heller ruling, DC has made it nearly impossible to own firearms. This is just another effort on their part to infringe gun owners rights.

A police chief named Cathy. That's may be the root of the problem right there.

(No, I'm not sexist. But I am aware of how affirmative action undermines capability and credibility.)

So they already registered them once,

That ghave the officials an address where the gun are.

Now they have to register them again or the SS Nazi agents in DC will come to their homes and confiscate the guns.

Isn’t that pretty much what happened in New York?

MILLER: D.C. police won’t arrest David Gregory

Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) has concluded its investigation into NBC anchor David Gregory without an arrest.

Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier’s spokesman Gwendolyn Crump emailed Wednesday morning: “Emily, MPD has completed the investigation into this matter, and the case has been presented to the OAG for a determination of the prosecutorial merit of the case.”

Lie. Defy. Do not comply.

Never register. Once you do, you will forever be targeted.

We should have left well enough alone after the British burned D.C. in 1814 (well, it wasn’t known as D.C. then, but it was the same place).

“Every three years you’ll have to confirm you still live in the District and you still have your firearm.” Lanier tells WNEW.

Interesting.

Why don't they do that with voter registration?

“Reply, ‘all of mine were lost in a boating accident.”

No. I mean, at one time that was a pithy comment, and it raised some smiles. But things are...well, more serious now. I’d say MOLON LABE is now the proper response.

Cathy” Lanier looks like a dyke. All those owners should file another suit in the Federal Courts and sue this b**** for harassment.

I wonder if this applies to that other dirtbag Feinstein and her little purse pistol? Probably not. She is a Congresscritter and we all know they don’t have to follow the law, right?

That would be racist.

I dunno. I have a hard time gathering much sympathy for anyone who chooses to live in that cesspool.
