I went to DC gun registration today, just like I do every 30 days with a new toy. They told me there is a new requirement. Basically I had to sign a form that states the registration of this gun expires in 3 years. I will have to re-register the firearm at that time. They ALSO said, I personally will have to submit (pay for) fingerprints again and they will background check (I pay) me again. I am not sure if fingerprint requirement is 3 years from my first gun registration or 3 years from today. This is a real screw job.
Oddly there is ZERO mention of this requirement on the dc.gov registration page, the approved gun permit, nor is it on the DC exam of lawful gun ownership. It is not clear if this is retroactive, a new law entirely, or if there is even a process to re-register. However the dismissal of Heller II seems to support re-registration requirement is legal from what I read on the NRA site.
The kicker is this requirement going to make a lot of people that lawfully complied with registration into know criminals if they do not know about this largely secret law.
VA is looking better and better every day. However moving to VA means the gun grabber terrorists win.
