Yes, the Washington DC council did pass their brand new gun control regulations last night at the city council meeting. The vote was unanimous. However, the council changed the city's definition of a "machine gun" to be the following: Any firearm that is capable of being fired 12 or more times without reloading!!
Have these folks gone insane? Apparently any gun loaded with a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds in it is now a machine gun under Washington DC law!! So semiautomatic firearms will be allowed, just as long they do not have a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds.
Here is a news article with further details:

And here is a video news report, with video taken at last night's council meeting.
