So, are the DC gun laws for CC also racist? Can we get the Federal government to force them into an even more laxed position, like with voter ID's?
Let's review and let me know what you think...

Voter version.Under District law, an applicant for a Concealed Carry Pistol License must include proof of firearms training, including 16 hours of training that covers numerous firearms safety topics, two hours of range training, and training on District of Columbia law on firearms and self-defense. An applicant who has already received firearms training may request a waiver from either the 16-hour training or the 2-hour training, or both. The applicant must provide supporting documentation with their waiver request. Please review the Instructions for Applying for a Concealed Carry License for additional information on the types of documentation required. However, all applicants must take the training on District law on firearms and self-defense; there are no waivers for this requirement.

Wow, screams Constitutional Rights violation from beginning to end, doesn't it?
Well, maybe its just me. Lets look at the next major paragraph.
Uh-oh... this is not looking good...Additionally, the Firearms Control Act requires applicants to explain their need for a Concealed Carry Pistol License by demonstrating either a good reason to fear injury to themselves or their property, or any other proper reason. The fact that an applicant lives or works in a high crime area, in and of itself, is not a sufficient reason for the issuance of a Concealed Carry Pistol License. Applicants must demonstrate their basis for requesting a Concealed Carry Permit by submitting a personal statement or supporting documentation or a notarized statement from a third party. Please review the Instructions for Applying for a Concealed Carry License for additional information on these requirements. Further, all fees associated with the processing of applications for a Conceal Carry Pistol License are non-refundable, regardless of final determination.

Yea... looks pretty oppressive and discriminatory to me. I bet if we replace the bold sections with any other one of our Constitutional Rights and all Americans would be screaming from the room tops for the heads of the oppressors.
What do you folks think? Is this what are country is really turning into? How do we stop the spread of this socialist cancer?
