active duty within the ,washington1 ,d4,c41 metropolitan area4 ,unless these individuals are granted a waiver as serving in a law enforcement role1 they are subject to the ,district of ,columbia's onerous and highly restrictive laws on the possession of firearms4 7#c7 ,military personnel1 despite being extensively trained in the proper and safe use of firearms1 are therefore deprived by the laws of the ,district of ,columbia of handguns1 rifles1 and shotguns that are commonly kept by law-abiding persons throughout the ,united ,states for sporting use and for lawful defense of their persons1 homes1 businesses1 and families4 7#d7 ,the ,district of ,columbia has one of the highest per capita murder rates in the ,nation1 which may be attributed in part to previous local laws prohibiting possession of firearms by law-abiding persons who would have otherwise been able to defend themselves and their loved ones in their own homes and businesses4 7#e7 ,the ,gun ,control ,act of #aifh 7as amended by the ,firearms ,owners' ,protection ,act7 and the ,brady ,handgun ,violence ,prevention ,act provide comprehensive ,federal regulations applicable in the ,district of ,columbia

that only affect and disarm law-abiding citizens4 7#f7 ,on ,june #bf1 #bjjh1 the ,supreme ,court of the ,united ,states in the case of ,district of ,columbia v4 ,heller held that the ,second

in the home be kept unloaded and disassembled or outfitted with a trigger lock to be unconstitutional4 7#g7 ,on ,july #af1 #bjjh1 the ,district of ,columbia enacted the ,firearms ,control ,emergency ,amendment ,act of #bjjh 7,d4,c4 ,act #ag-dbb2 #ee ,,dcr #hbcg71 which places onerous restrictions on the ability of law-abiding citizens from possessing firearms1 thus violating the spirit by which
