She is also the author of Emily Gets Her Gun in which she spells out the hypocrisy of trying to get gun ownership permit in D.C.
At the time I posted it, that was the only method she reported on it (and still is, technically, but other outlets are picking it up.)

Anywhere else in the U.S., you would be correct.
But this is Washington D.C.; the city banned guns years ago and has been stonewalling on letting anyone have them since they were forced to end the ban. See for example:

In addition, I don't think concealed carry is legal anywhere in D.C. thanks to the "politicians are special!" exception to the Second Amendment. I may be incorrect, but if so, I doubt there are more than a dozen people who've managed to get concealed-carry permits outside of the political class.

This. Gun violence is actually less today than ten years ago.
Great read that will debunk common misconceptions generated by, essentially, media hysteria: https://www.amazon.com/Emily-Gets-Her-Gun-Obama/dp/1621571920
