US EditionPirro: Anyone who brings a gun to DC should ‘count on going to jail’
Pirro vowed jail for anyone carrying guns in D.C. without local compliance, sparking backlash from Republicans and gun-rights groups representing over two-thirds of registered gun owners.
- 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.
