Council Quickly Fixes 'Ghost Gun' Law after Court Challenge by Heller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">voted to amend<\/a> a recently passed law restricting the manufacture and ownership of so-called &#8220;ghost guns&#8221; after a group of plaintiffs <a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.dcd.235342\/gov.uscourts.dcd.235342.1.0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"d-c-council-quickly-fixes-ghost-gun-law-after-court-challenge-by-heller\" title=\"D.C. Council Quickly Fixes 'Ghost Gun' Law after Court Challenge by Heller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">filed a suit<\/a> (.pdf) against the district highlighting its flaws. Leading the charge was none other than Dick A. Heller. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plaintiffs argued that the new restrictions were so broad that they would essentially make all polymer-framed handguns illegal, including many police-issue pistols. And while agencies and the military were exempted from the ban, it was a strong enough challenge that the D.C. Council voted to change the law preemptively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The way the original legislation was written banned any firearm with a frame that could pass through a metal detector unnoticed after all of the other parts were removed, which obviously affected many of the most popular modern handguns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Practically every major firearms company offers polymer-framed pistols due to their popularity for self-defense, shooting sports, handgun hunting, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The updated law would allow D.C. residents to once again own these pistols as well as manufacture them, as long as they have unique serial numbers registered with the district. The amendments still have a metal detector requirement, but now it&#8217;s been extended to include the rest of the firearm parts necessary for it function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amended language was passed by a 12 to 1 vote. The holdout was councilwoman Brooke Pinto <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/dc-md-va\/2021\/11\/16\/dc-council-ghost-guns\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"d-c-council-quickly-fixes-ghost-gun-law-after-court-challenge-by-heller\" title=\"D.C. Council Quickly Fixes 'Ghost Gun' Law after Court Challenge by Heller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">who said<\/a>, &#8220;The proliferation of ghost guns in our city is certainly not what the founders anticipated or intended,&#8221; and &#8220;I\u2019m hoping for more clarification on why we as a city have to continue allowing something that in my view is extremely outside the scope of what the founders intended.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/polymer80-aft-kit-designed-for-the-home-handgun-builder\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"d-c-council-quickly-fixes-ghost-gun-law-after-court-challenge-by-heller\" title=\"D.C. Council Quickly Fixes 'Ghost Gun' Law after Court Challenge by Heller\">Polymer80 AFT Kit Designed for the Home Handgun Builder<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The term &#8220;ghost gun&#8221; is used as a catch-all term that extends well beyond homemade firearms. It also includes stolen firearms, guns with defaced serial numbers and in general, illegally owned guns. It&#8217;s grown to include homemade guns because they often have polymer receivers which, without the rest of the firearm components, may be able to pass through a metal detector unnoticed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, the same is true for a huge portion of all handguns in use today, which is why the case was so relevant. George L. Lyon Jr., representing Heller, is still pursuing a preliminary injunction against the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lyon argues that if the underlying law remains in place, the D.C. Council can reverse their amendment with the stroke of a pen, and that it must be thrown out entirely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>D.C. councilmembers quickly drafted a fix for a recently passed law banning homemade firearms like these that unwittingly banned most if not all polymer-framed pistols. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":50,"featured_media":138506,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[111,461,240],"tags":[132,469,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-155127","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-industry-news","8":"category-max-slowik","9":"category-this-week","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-gun-control","12":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>D.C.
