There are more than 300 gun dealers in DC? I thought it was nearly impossible to buy a gun in DC. @EmilyMiller https://t.co/6UBOctbdSP

Story lacks context. There's only one gun dealer with FFL active in DC- Charles Sykes. But he doesn't buy or sell. https://t.co/IYOj4ZcfQH

In other words, CityLab’s kinda full of it.

Did the gun dealer map @CityLab is touting use ALL FFL licensees? Not all FFLs are "gun shops." There are different classes of license.
