US Prosecutors Halt Felony Charges for Carrying Registered Rifles and Shotguns in DC

The U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., Jeanine Pirro, has instructed prosecutors not to seek felony charges for carrying registered rifles and shotguns in the district, citing concerns that the city's gun laws may violate the Second Amendment as interpreted by recent Supreme Court rulings. This policy change aims to focus on illegal firearms and felon-in-possession cases, while avoiding charges related solely to registered rifles or shotguns, reflecting a legal shift in enforcement priorities.
