"I don't care if you have a license in another district, and I don't care if you're a law-abiding gun owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this district, count on going to jail and hope you get the gun back, and that makes all the difference,"
"And you bring a gun into the district, you mark my words, you're going to jail."
"I bring a gun into the district every week,"
"I have a license in Florida and DC to carry. And I will continue to carry to protect myself and others. Come and Take it!"
Jeanine Pirro, a Senate-confirmed U.S. Attorney and former TV personality, warned that anyone who brings a gun into the District of Columbia will face jail and possible temporary loss of the firearm. The statements were linked to crediting a drop in D.C. homicides, with weather also noted as a factor. Conservative figures reacted strongly: a congressman declared he carries in the district despite licenses, another lawmaker questioned the threat to gun owners, and commentators accused Fox of cheering an overreach. The episode foregrounds conflict between strict district enforcement and national Second Amendment advocacy.
