What about us? I know the laws in DC are horrific at best, but why not enforce the Second Amendment in the states too. Yes: we have the Tenth Amendment, but it doesn't nullify the Second.

I knew something smelled fishy with that list. That list is a trap!
I cannot find an updated version of Second Amendment Enforcement Act. I am not sure it is public record yet. The article says it “largely the same as a measure that failed to gain support in the previous, Democratic-controlled Congress.” This includes standard capasity magizines, DC residents can buy directly from MD/VA dealers, and assault weapons.
The ONLY wild list seems to be from the Eleanor Holmes Norton's website as quoted in a previous post. In her list she cites a lot of items that even gun people would find as objectionable. They do not even make sense with respect to DC law. Many of these things were not in the 2008 bill.
From the playbook: EHN will make a lot of claims (lies) and hysteria about the legislation to create a negative connotation about what is in the bill. When the bill is available (probably as said the same as the 2008 bill) it will not have what she said it will, but it will already have a strongly tarnished image.
For example, CCW is EHN’s very first objection. CCW is specifically NOT permitted in the 2008 bill.

That is not the bill itself, which is critical to the claims. That is Mike Ross's description of what is in it. Oddly his description is drastically different than Eleanor Holmes Norton's description.
Someone is deliberately misrepresenting the bill. Either it is EHN or Ross telling major lies to promote their platform. I wonder who the corrupt politician will be.
Place your bets.

Sure does look like a bait/switch...from Mike Ross's announcement that Inigoes linked:
The major provisions of the Second Amendment Enforcement Act include:
A little less than Eleanor Holmes Norton's proclamation...

I'll move to DC.
Well you would be going on the word of Eleanor Holmes Norton and not the author of the bill.
Personally this bill would be a vast improvement. I would not have to screw around buying reduced 10 round mags and giving away the stock mags. I wanted to buy one of the $250 92Fs Cop Shop was selling. By the time I factored in transfer, ballistics, overnight shipping to DC, etc... it was over $500 for a well worn gun. I think in MD you guys pay in the $500 range for a new gun.
Also I could buy a handgun in MD/VA and not pay the $125 transfer.
Assault weapon repeal would make a difference. The AR/AK/M1A flavors are a standard in modern plinking at Myrtle Grove. Not for DC residents. I cannot even put a thumb hole stock on my 10/22 or it is an illegal assault weapon.
