The District of Columbia Metropolitain Police, complaining that they are outgunned by criminals in their "Gun Free" community, has added 500 AR-15 rifles to their arsenal.  Chief Cathy Lanier says that only senior officers who complete 40 hours of specialized training will be issued the rifles.  Those officers will be required to requalify with the rifles twice each year.

    While the police with their Glock pistols and AR-15 rifles complain of being outgunned by criminals, the city is working on their new handgun registration rules in response to the Supreme Court's decision in the Heller case.  Early indications are that the District will limit legal private handguns to revolvers only, restricted to the home only, and further limited to only one handgun per person.

Welcome to the capitol of the free world.
