District of Columbia Firearm Freedom Act

The District of Columbia Firearm Freedom Act proposes significant changes to firearm laws in the District of Columbia, directly affecting its residents and visitors. It would eliminate the District's firearm registration system and any prior authorization requirements for acquiring or possessing firearms. The bill also repeals bans on certain semi-automatic firearms and high-capacity magazines, and establishes permitless concealed carry for eligible individuals within the District. Furthermore, it amends federal law to allow District residents to purchase firearms from licensed dealers in Virginia and Maryland. The legislation preempts conflicting District laws and creates a civil cause of action for individuals to challenge violations.
