In reply to the discussion: (DC) Mayor Gray protests a billboard advertising gun-safety classes [View all]Glaug-Eldare
(1,089 posts)36. There you go again...
First off, I believe you're a liar and that you've never attended or seen any formal firearm training event whatsoever. Your ignorance of what is and is not taught is obvious.
Second, "toting" is already illegal in DC, and carry permits are not issued. The advertisement is not about carry, nor training to carry. Once again, you are dragging your frothy hatred of carry into an unrelated thread in hopes of successfully conflating the two. While I'm on the topic, let me mention that it is virtually impossible to legally purchase a handgun in DC anyway, due to the number of FFLs in DC (one, transfer-only) and the Jim Crow-style hoops and fees required to register one.

Ask someone who has worked with an organization with a PAC. They are separate on paper only.

Mayor Vincent Gray hates guns so much he'd rather not support gun safety classes.

Funny how "Abstinence-only" gets supported when guns are involved...
