Some D.C. Gun Laws Unconstitutional
Federal appeals court strikes down some gun registration laws in nation's capital.
Associated Press, Sept. 18, 2015 | 12:41 p.m. EDT
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal appeals court has struck down as unconstitutional parts of Washington, D.C.'s gun laws.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled 2-1 Friday that the city cannot require gun owners to re-register a gun every three years, make a gun available for inspection or pass a test about firearms laws. The court also struck down a ban on registering more than one pistol per month.
The court upheld other parts of the law, such as requiring gun owners to be fingerprinted and photographed and to complete a safety training course.
The District of Columbia passed the laws after a landmark 2008 Supreme Court decision that struck down a ban on handguns in the District of Columbia.
A federal judge had previously upheld the registration laws.

No matter...The local police department will ignore the ruling and do what they have been doing until there is a new US AG in office.
