US EditionPirro: Anyone who brings a gun to DC should ‘count on going to jail’
Pirro targets illegal gun carriers in D.C. while affirming lawful permit holders face no prosecution, amid growing tensions within GOP and gun rights advocates.
- On Monday, Jeanine Pirro, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, warned anyone bringing a gun into Washington, D.C., should `count on going to jail`.
- The District requires that handguns be licensed with MPD, and Pirro argued this enforces District of Columbia law while cracking down on illegal firearms blamed for rising homicides.
- Republican critics including Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Greg Steube said Pirro’s vow to arrest gun carriers drew condemnation from gun-rights organizations and conservatives on social media.
- On Tuesday, Jeanine Pirro posted on X and released a one-minute video clip insisting, `Let me be clear: I am a proud supporter of the Second Amendment` to clarify her remarks.
- Prior prosecutorial directives and a December 2025 DOJ suit underscore the contradiction as Jeanine Pirro's August 2025 directive eased felony charges despite her recent warnings.
