Man Found Guilty After Possessing Replica Bullets

[The Legion]

I am not sure if this story has been discussed on TGO, but found this story this afternoon.  Man found guilty for having one shotgun shell and a few muzzle loading bullets in his home.  Follow the link to hear the whole story.

One of the most asinine things I have ever heard. Even from the DC bunch of loonies.

[Guest semiautots]

I remember that. This story tells you how much these fools want to get rid of criminals with weapons. Not one bit!

 

They should build a wall around that town, cover it with a huge tent and fumigate it to get rid of the vermin.

 

It's the Anus of America.

Reason number 2000 i'll will not visit that city, wont spend one dime there to support their economy. Pretty much the same reason I wouldn't have visited Paris during the Nazi occupation. If we ever elect a halfway decent real leader and the voters of DC kick out all the traitors to America, restore freedom like the founding fathers intended, then maybe i'll go. But as for right now, no way in hell will I step over the DC boundry.

....Paris during the Nazi occupation...

 

That's really an astute analogy, never quite could describe how I felt about D.C. overall, but that succinctly nails it.

who has made these laws?  Does DC govern itself as does Knoxville or Atlanta or any other city?  How can this have made it to court?  Ridiculous

 

And count me as a bigger fan of Emily Miller.  I loved her Emily gets a Gun series.  She must get paid a ton of money to stay at her current job.

and as for DC,  I wanna go there.   

 

I am paying for the second time,  a trip to DC.  Grandson this time, son last time. When is my turn?  LOL

If you're driving up there, make sure you drive or take the Metro out to Fairfax to hit the National Firearms Museum. It's worth it.

I distinctly remember looking at all the guns in the American History museum as a kid. Turns out that part of our heritage must have offended some sensibilities because most of them have been removed.

I am thrilled the grandson is getting to go.  I was surprised they are sending 5th graders.  But good for him.   Same as I felt when we sent our son.  He still talks about it. 

I wanna go there.  I can spend half a day at a hot rod museum down in the Sevierville. .  I don't know how I'd prioritize a DC trip.

Arresting someone, giving them a criminal record, monitary fine and jail for a shotgun shell and a bullet for a muzzle loader goes far beyond idiocy, it's really a lowlife thing to do to a person. Obviously the DC/DA and judge involved don't care about causing unjustified grief to a person just to show that they are in control over them in any way they personally choose.

I've got a couple of strings of Christmas lights made from empty 12 gauge shells.  :hiding:

I'm sure those will get you arrested, fined and jailed in DC.

This is the future everywhere if our fellow Americans who believe that firearms are dangerous except when in the hands of the military or police (or famous people & important politicians) get enough votes to make it happen.

Fun, fun.

I saw an interview of this guy on the news the other day. He said his lawyer at one point leaned over to him and said, "Clearly, you are the most knowledgeable person regarding guns in the courtroom." One of the jurors admitted she had no idea what a muzzle loader was. I think he said the judge wasn't sure either. How can clueless people be the deciders of your fate? What happened to a jury of your peers? Could you even find "peers" in DC?

I was there today.  I only had a couple of hours to take in everything but needed several more.  I've never seen such beautiful collections before.  

 

They remodeled the American History Museum a few years ago and it changed quiet a bit.  I liked it better before.  The progress of technology was really cool and now it's gone too.
