Not knocking her endeavour but...
“My quest started in October at the D.C. Gun Registry at the police department. I met with Officer Brown, who put PILES of paper on the desk between us. “Here’s everything you need to know,” she said, pointing to a stack about a QUARTER-INCH THICK.” (emphasis provided)

Cripes, “QUARTER-INCH THICK”...I’ve got more money than that in my wallet and I don’t carry cash..

$125 for a transfer?!? Holy clapsticks, that's a freaking ripoff!! It only costs about $25 in VA. We won't tolerate the idea of requiring I.D.s to vote because it might be considered a poll tax but, by gods, we WILL make you pay through the nose to exercise your God-given right to protect yourself.

(sigh)

The ridiculousness required by the DC statists doesn't surprise me...What surprises me is this:

I called the National Rifle Association to see if I could take the class at its headquarters, but it didn’t have any D.C.-certified instructors.

WTH? You're the NR-frickin-A, and you don't have anyone certified to train DC citizens? At your headquarters? That I don't understand.

I’m hoping that the Second Amendment Foundation will take a case on her behalf. DC owes her a lot of money and the courts need to strike down ALL of these restriction since taken together they amount to monumental infringement of the right.
