There was always an unspoken dirty secret underlying gun control in cities. The politics of hand gun ownership and the right to bear arms in the more populated cities in the US relates to the party-in-charge that has over-regulated and ruined these places. The laws are now fully designed to protect the criminals and ironically the gun laws, from the beginning, were race based. Initially these laws, especially New York's Sullivan Act, were an attempted to keep guns out of the hands of the criminal elements, namely the Italians, Jews, Chinese, Spanish and Blacks.
Today the racial element is reversed. Liberal, and well protected, city politicians make it nearly impossible for law abiding citizens to have their own private forms of personal protection. The whole charade is couched in there bald faced lies about citizens are too unreliable to protect themselves and thus too dangerous. They can only be protected through their polical control and authority.
The reality is, their authority is nascent protection of the lives of the racial minorities who tend to make up the majority percentage of the violent criminal element in these cities. The perception is if these political 'leaders' don't protect these criminal elements, then they will lose votes from their 'community' constituencies who are represented by the same minority racial groups.
The sinister underlying motives have always been essentially the same, it is just that the protected minority has shifted. ♘
After days of calls, emails, tweets, comments and posts, I finally bought the exact gun I wanted, the two-tone version of the Sig Sauer P229 9mm. I’m so excited to shoot my new purchase, but in the nation’s capital, it's not that simple. Buying a gun doesn’t mean you get to have the gun.
Washington, D.C. has a list of firearms that are eligible to be registered. The make, model and even the color (two-tone) of the gun I wanted was on the list, but I had a bear of a time finding one with a D.C.-legal 10-round magazine. The standard version has a 13-round capacity.
I called Sig Sauer’s customer service number to ask for help finding a dealer who had the model I wanted in the lower-capacity magazine.
The agent, Andy, said that he could not help me find a dealer. I asked if the the P229 was made with the 10-round magazine or could be switched out to it. He said, no.
