A looser gun law will be valid in Washington, DC, if a conservative congressman’s bill becomes law. The DC Personal Protection Reciprocity Act was introduced after four people were shot at a congressional baseball practice.

Representative Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) announced his introduction of House Resolution 2909 on Thursday, less than two days after a shooter opened fire on four people at a congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana), who was shot in the hip, remains in critical condition. The gunman, James Hodgkinson, died in a shootout with police.

“If not for the heroic efforts of the United States Capitol Police at the ball field yesterday, things could have been much worse. What’s always evident in these situations is this: The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” Massie (R-Kentucky) said in a statement.

HR 2909, also known as the DC Personal Protection Reciprocity Act, would also allow Americans to apply for a non-resident permit in DC, if they do not have a permit issued from their home state. Reciprocity would be offered to citizens of DC as well if the bill passes.
