"Thank you, sir! May I please have another?"

Courtesy of Tamara and Say Uncle, comes a link to the District of Columbia's new Firearms Registration Pamphlet.
WHAT TYPES OF FIREARMS CAN I REGISTER?
Shotguns, rifles, and revolvers.

WHAT TYPES OF THINGS WOULD CAUSE ME TO BE DISQUALIFIED FROM BEING ABLE TO REGISTER A FIREARM?
To qualify for registration of a firearm in the District of Columbia, you must meet all of the following criteria. You:
...
6. Must not suffer from a physical defect which would make it unsafe for you to possess and use a firearm safely and responsibly.
...
8. Must not be convicted of any felony, or prostitution-related offense.
I think #6 is going to cause them problems. As is the refusal to allow semi-auto handguns.

And #8 is just... amazing. The mind boggles. They don't want to arm Senators...?

Number 8 was added to disqualify former governor Elliot Spitzer.
