All convictions under unconstitutional laws should be considered null and void.

If there is one place in the United States where the reach of the 2nd amendment is total and unqualfied by any reservation of rights to the states it is in the District of Columbia, which is totally and completely a federal district.

That this pettifogging bureaucrat of a Justice Department prosecutor pursued this clear juggernaut for injustice is a strong indicator that at least one Justice Department attorney's tax payer job is superfluous. Maybe a 10% budget cut for Justice, each year, until they stop trying frivolous claims.

*** Officers found .357 magnum and .45 caliber pistols among his belongings,***

I am reminded of the shooting of Kevin Ballew about 40 years ago in DC. The police claimed he fired a shot at them.

He thought it was a home invasion, grabbed a black powder reproduction pistol and was immediatly shot by the cops. As he fell he fired one shot from his black powder pistol INTO THE WALL about 8 inches from the floor, 90 degrees away from the cops. Yet, he “fired” first?

Prosecutors have to get out of this “win at any cost” mentality.

If this was a civil case the judges would have reported the prosecutor to the bar for discipline.
