Sir:
I receive a publication entitled "The Shooting Wire" via email. In the July 23, 2008 edition, the first seven paragraphs of an article by Jim Shepherd are devoted to the situation in Washington DC post Heller. In paragraph five he ponders the lack of a FFL holder in the district to effect a transfer of a firearm to residents from dealers in surrounding states.
My suggestion is for ATFE to assume this duty until a FFL holder establishes a business for this purpose in the District of Columbia.
I can forsee a very positive response from gun owners and Gun Rights Organizations such as The National Rifle Association and from Congress .
I broached this idea to two internet gun bloggers and one of them, Mr. David Codrea responded that he did not approve it. We exchanged emails and he offered to publish an essay advocating my idea on his blog "War on Guns".
Sincerely,
Sam W
