ammo has to be registered in DC?

this is a good example of media distortion on earlier reporting and probably future reporting on this topic - the guy had a gun in his truck, not in his hands, sigh. Unfortunately he entered the gun-control zone of DC.

If I were to wear my old t-shirt from the Nixon era that says; "Where is Lee Harvey Oswald now that we really need him?" I would probably get investigated by the Secret Service.

“this is a good example of media distortion...”

This is a good example of media influence.
How many readers now believe that some ammunition must be registered and will support future legislature for the same in their local?

This article definitely different from the one earlier today that sounded like the guy actually had the gun with him when he went up to the Capital building.

Let me tell you a story about a man and a truck,
DC police, a gun, he's out of luck,
Came to the capitol the prez he wants to see,
And if the brother's busy he'll call on Pelosi,
From the gallery, that is, she's old.
