I HAVE SOME SMALL ROUND LEAD BALLS IN WASHINGTON DC RIGHT NOW!
:omg:

And if you don't like it, you can suck on my cock!

While the DC laws on possession of ammunition are clearly in need of fixing, wasn't this the case where they only charged him with this because evidence for more serious offenses was thrown out due to an improper search by MPD? Or am I thinking of a different case? I seem to recall very poor reporting all around.

Man that's scary

DC-W · Mar 26, 2014

Absolute insanity.

EL1227 · Mar 26, 2014

The final paragraph says it all ...

Mr. Witaschek and his wife moved to Virginia after his arrest in 2012. On the way out of the courtroom after his conviction, Mr. Witaschek said that the court clerk came up to him privately and said, “I’m glad you don’t live in D.C. anymore. These people are nuts about guns.”

No, they're just nucking futz ... PERIOD.

Criminals and corruption rule the day (and night) in DC in its totality. Move out, build a wall around it and call in Snake Plissken.

No matter how you slice it, it was a ******** prosecution from the start, regardless of the quality, or lack thereof, of Emily Miller's reporting. DC just completely sucks all the way around.....traffic cameras, discriminatory breed-specific dog laws, and the most inane gun laws in the country, just to name a few of the reasons I hate to even set foot in that ********.

F-CK DC.

And don't forget willfully ignoring SCOTUS in the Heller decision. A real stand-up place.

Maybe we could give it to Iran.

The judge and the lawyers involved will make hundreds of thousands of dollars off of this, mostly paid for by the taxpayers.

Now, they will make hundreds of thousands MORE dollars.

THAT is the real crime that is being committed here, and 99% of the population is too stupid to realize they're being scammed.

As outrageous and damaging as this is to the Mr. Witaschek, an appellate decision striking the code section down is far better in the long wrong. A not guilty finding today would leave the code on the books to be used against the next guy.

They are simply sending a message that they hate us and no quarter will be given.

Just my .025

I don't think we really want to hear anything about your balls, and if I were you I'd keep their size to myself. :lol2:

This ^^^^^

A life unnecessarily disrupted, and probably financially destroyed. And a boat load of our money spent for absolutely nothing of any value whatsoever, with tons more to be spent in what amounts to an expensive and completely unnecessary effort to overturn mind boggling stupidity. "Our Nation's Capitol"...........yeah. :sad20:

The only thing this man is guilty of is having the misfortune of living in what has become the shi*hole of a once proud nation, now largely populated by useless thugs and even more useless elitist bureaucrats. Worthless sons of bit*&es. ought to be thrown out by their ears. :mad54:

I guess anybody in DC that collects Civil War relics better not have any minnie balls laying around.

I think Witaschek will win on appeal, due to it being to an allowed antique firearm. But I think the code may stand. The same code survived appeal in Massachusetts where convictions on parts of ammunition were upheld.
