"Sen. Hutchison’s legislation, which has already garnered support of more than 20 bipartisan cosponsors, makes D.C. gun laws consistent with federal law.

It recognizes that current law denies citizens access to firearms which is an infringement on their Second Amendment rights. It also clarifies that the D.C. City Council does not have the authority to prohibit private ownership of firearms but will maintain power to regulate machine guns and firearms according to the National Firearms Act. "

A shorter version would read:

DC gun laws will mirror federal laws.

So no more DC gunlaws...

I think it means they can't pass their own gun laws but can enforce Federal ones.
