Lawmakers who represent Columbia Heights announced a plan today to keep guns out of the hands of violent offenders forever. Senator Satveer Chaudhary (SAHT-veer CHOD-ree) and Representative Barb Goodwin introduced a state initiative for a lifetime ban on firearms possession at a Capitol press conference. The proposal comes on the heels of last week's shoot out between a convicted double murderer and three police officers. Alledged shooter David Byrne was legally in possession of a number of firearms because he had properly applied to have his civil rights re-instated. He was allowed to do that ten years after completing his prison sentence. This would change under the Chaudhary/Goodwin proposal State Senator Satveer Chaudhary (SAHT-veer CHOD-ree)
