If you want to buy a handgun in Washington DC there is, apparently, only one place to go.
So, how does one lawfully get guns into DC? Even after Heller takes effect, it's a tough issue due to zoning:
Washington has no federally licensed gun stores, so nowhere in the city can residents buy a handgun legally.
They can be reached at:
Violence Policy Center
1730 Rhode Island Avenue, NW
Suite 1014
Washington, DC 20036
phone (202) 822 8200
Ask them what they're charging for transfers. If they say they don't do them, remind them that, thanks in part to their kind's lobbying efforts, it is typically viewed a violation of federal law to hold an FFL and not be in the business of dealing firearms.
This kind of turnabout would be sweet enough to drown Mary Poppins!
