The U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C., led by Jeanine Pirro, has adopted a new policy instructing federal prosecutors not to pursue felony charges against individuals carrying rifles or shotguns in the nation's capital. This directive applies regardless of the strength of the evidence. Pirro stated that the local ban on carrying these firearms conflicts with recent Supreme Court rulings, specifically referencing the Heller and Bruen decisions. The change effectively ends felony prosecutions related to the possession of rifles and shotguns in public without a license in Washington, D.C., aligning federal enforcement with constitutional interpretations of the Second Amendment under the Trump administration.
