To the dismay of the Washington, D.C., police chief and others who are trying to limit gun ownership in the nation’s capital, Rep. Travis Childers is pressing legislation that would rollback restrictions.
Childers, a Democrat from Prentiss County, won a special election in May to represent the 1st District. He hopes to offer his bill this week as an amendment to a much narrower bill sponsored by Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C.
Childers says his legislation is needed to comply with the Supreme Court’s ruling in June that the city’s wide-ranging gun ban violates the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms.
