Correct!!! I don't remember the unloaded part, but that might also be correct.

Exactly.

Watching her testify is painful. She is not communicating well and Mr. Mendelson gives typical responses.


Mr. Mendelson's candor about having more access to training, shooting, and less cost on getting a gun is very condescending.

DC leadership does not want more guns. The requirements to obtain a gun, in my opinion, are not constitutional. I think that they are going to be going back to court. Maybe not the SCCOTUS, but back to the courts nonetheless.

Mr. Mendelson's tone is much like the tone and attitude that Justice Breyer gave when he was asked about the second amendment on FOX a couple of years ago. Justice Breyer: "We're acting as judges. If we're going to decide everything on the basis of history -- by the way, what is the scope of the right to keep and bear arms? Machine guns? Torpedoes? Handguns?" he asked. "Are you a sportsman? Do you like to shoot pistols at targets? Well, get on the subway and go to Maryland. There is no problem, I don't think, for anyone who really wants to have a gun."

Oh, yeah, Breyer may be a Supreme Court Justice, but he is a moron on this issue.

That's because she is a newspaper writer and is used to being able to edit, edit, edit!

I thought she did okay in that video. Mr. Mendelson is just a hard headed politician and doesn't want anyone to have a gun.

I agree... Giving testimony to a bunch of bureaucrats who you know are against you is not easy. She did a great job, I think.
I saw her on FoxNews the other day... Did a good job there too...

I'd buy her dinner if I ever met her. I think she's doing more for the Second than most any other individual citizen in a long time.

I read the entire series. A good read.

Emily got her gun today ...

http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/gun ... t-her-gun/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

but apparently still doesn't have ammo, nor a place to shoot it

I bet it makes all those liberal elitists sick knowing I can walk into a store today and walk out with a AK, AR, 50 cal or Sig with no fees special taxes or waiting.

And the registration is only good until 2015.

Here's a link to a new Foxnews report about the DC registration that mentions Emily Miller. 2.5-minute video also.
