       #DOJ sues #DC over ban of #AR15s & other #SemiautomaticGunsThe suit incorrectly claims that the registration restrictions on semi-automatic rifles in DC is an “unconstitutional ban.”

In a lawsuit Monday, #Trump admin attys chastised the city for its code banning most #SemiautomaticRifles & certain #firearms from being registered with the #police, making possession of those weapons illegal.#HomeRule #law https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/12/22/justice-department-sues-dc-ar-15-rifle/

       …“Their decisions to deny certificates of registration for commonly possessed semiautomatic firearms runs afoul of binding Supreme Court precedent & therefore trample the Second Amendment rights of #law abiding citizens.”prosecutors claimed.Prosecutors cited a 2008 #SCOTUS ruling that held that people may possess firearms in their homes for purposes such as #SelfDefense, invalidating a #handgun ban that #DC had in place at the time.[#SemiautomaticRifles ARE NOT handguns]#HomeRule #Trump

       @Nonilex Massachusetts gun laws are fairly restrictive, and, as I understand Constitutional. Like DC, I can't register an assault weapon in Mass, and therefore cannot possess it. We have the Lowest Gun Death rate in the nation - well worth giving up any "right" to golly, really really want a mass assault weapon to feel...manly?
