A 30" gun is legal and a 34" gun is legal-but one with a stock that can be adjusted to 30" OR 34" is illegal? Why Dick Heller's model revolver is now not registerable in the District? Why does someone need to take a course on shooting a handgun to register a shotgun? Why did they put in place a "ballistics fingerprinting" system that cost Maryland $2 million and helped solve zero crimes? Why is a pistol grip on a rifle dangerous when all handguns, by definition, have pistol grips? Why would he ban the most popular model of centerfire rifles being sold in America today? No one in the media has been asking him to respond to the specifics of the regulations. Please ask him what each of these does to help "public safety"?
