Summary
The District of Columbia Firearm Freedom Act would stop the District from requiring any permits, registrations, or approvals before a person can buy, own, or carry a gun. It also bans DC rules that forbid firearms based on semi‑automatic operation, detachable magazines, or cosmetic features, and it allows residents and visitors to carry concealed weapons. The measure aims to align DC law with what its sponsors view as the constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
