U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro said Feb. 3 that people must follow the law in the District of Columbia with regard to carrying firearms.

“Let me be clear: I am a proud supporter of the Second Amendment. Washington, D.C., law requires handguns be licensed in the District with the Metropolitan Police Department to be carried into our community,” Pirro said on X. “We are focused on individuals who are unlawfully carrying guns and will continue building on that momentum to keep our communities safe.”
