By Gun Owners of America

Concluding a years-long lawsuit, US Judge Royce C. Lamberth gave preliminary approval to a settlement agreement due to Washington, D.C.’s mishandling of six different gun owners, all of whom were arrested between 2012 and 2014 on gun–related charges.

According to a report from the Washington Post, Lamberth had previously ruled in 2021 that D.C. arrested, jailed, prosecuted, and seized guns from six people “based on an unconstitutional set of laws” and violated their Second Amendment rights.

One of the examples cited in that same Washington Post report on the settlement details a Maryland resident who was commuting home from his job in Virginia with a gun locked in a safe in the trunk of his car. He was jailed for two nights on gun charges and lost his job as a result.

Oh? An anti-gun city is using taxpayer dollars to pay their fines for blatant anti-gun policies?
