| | Uphold Washington, D.C. Gun Laws, Oppose S. 1414 Petition |
 | | We, the undersigned, strongly oppose S.1414, the so-called 'District of Columbia Personal Protection Act,' and urge the Senate to reject this legislation. |
 | | 1414, as introduced by Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT), would repeal the District's ban on handguns, end strict registration requirements for ammunition and other firearms, and lift prohibitions on the possession or carrying of weapons at homes and workplaces. |
 | | It would also repeal the District's ban on semi-automatic firearms, allowing military-style assault weapons back into Washington’s neighborhoods. |
