Pirro defends threat to prosecute people bringing guns to DC

Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, stood by her threat to arrest anyone bringing guns into Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, while maintaining she still supports the Second Amendment.

Pirro triggered heavy backlash from the Right on Monday after she threatened to arrest anyone who brought a gun into Washington, even if they had a license from another state. Following the backlash, the U.S. attorney stood by her statement, arguing that it was consistent with local laws and didn’t go against the Second Amendment.
