The Illiterate Media
What I mean by that title is reporters and writers don’t bother to consult the experts before regurgitating an article fraught with errors. The person who wrote this article about the District rejecting Dick Heller’s request for gun registration, clearly knows little about firearms.
The author does not know the difference between a round and a bullet nor between a clip and a magazine.
District residents can start registering their guns today. But at least one very high profile application was already rejected.
Dick Heller is the man who brought the lawsuit against the District’s 32-year-old ban on handguns. He was among the first in line Thursday morning to apply for a handgun permit.
But when he tried to register his semi-automatic weapon, he says he was rejected. He says his gun has seven bullet clip. Heller says the City Council legislation allows weapons with fewer than eleven bullets in the clip. A spokesman for the DC Police says the gun was a bottom-loading weapon, and according to their interpretation, all bottom-loading guns are outlawed because they are grouped with machine guns.
A bottom-loading gun is like a machine gun? The assholes who run that city are begging for yet another lawsuit.
