She just wanted a handgun for protection and they made it incredibly hard. Little did they realize that the roadblocks that they had erected to prevent gun ownership in the District would create such an attractive and effective spokesperson for gun rights.<\/p>\n<p>If getting a handgun in the District had been as easy as it was in Virgina, Emily may have written one story and that would be that. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/blog\/guns\/?page=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The unintended consequence of their recalcitrance has been a 30-part series<\/a> in the Washington Times, television interviews with Fox News and News Channel 8, testimony at a Council hearing on gun policy, and multiple interviews in the gun media ranging from NRA News to Tom Gresham&#8217;s GunTalk Radio.<\/p>\n<p>Emily&#8217;s latest interview aired today on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2012\/02\/23\/gun-ownership-very-difficult-despite-supreme-court-rulings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bret Baier&#8217;s Special Report<\/a> and is now the featured story on the Fox News site as I write this.
