Being that DC is now run by China, I wouldn’t walk there unarmed either.

These old-timers can’t keep up with all the rules....

That makes them enemies of the state.

[Semper Vigilantis]

Isn’t being a black firearm 50% of an assault weapon?

[ataDude]

OMG. Now we have black handgun syndrome.

A week or two ago I think there was a similar story in which a man was found to have a gun and the implication was that the man was a terrorist, when in fact he was an ordinary citizen exercising his Constitutional rights.

[Magnum44]

We all are it seems.

[glorgau]

They arrested a guy in Washington for having a gun?!?!?!?!?

He must be an insurrectionist.

[xzins]

He wasn’t walking. The gun was in the console of his car. It wasn’t even on him.

“possession of unregistered ammunition”

Really? You have to register ammo now?

I was there in 2017 with a backpack with several collapsible batons, several pepper spray cans, several knives. Of course i didn't attempt to go thru the lines to the mall.

A sheriff attributed a suspect's being shot 68 times to "that's all the bullets we had."

[TribalPrincess2U]

The arrest comes weeks after hundreds of rioters stormed the US Capitol in an attempt to stop the Senate’s confirmation of President Joe Biden???????? LOL

[bk1000]

“ Who needs 20 “bullets”? ;)”

Certainly not for killing a deah.

[Still Thinking]

He was taken into custody for having a black .9mm Sig Sauer handgun and the ammunition, the report said.

.9mm?? What's he going to do, vaccinate people to death?

"possession of unregistered ammunition"

You have to register your ammunition now?

[SkyDancer]

In DC you even have to register ammunition.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

“charged with carrying a pistol without a license”

Without a license? I wasn’t aware the 2nd was repealed.

[magyars4]

Why’s it gotta be black? BGM... black guns matter!

[ProudDeplorable]

So a man with a gun in Washington DC justifies 25,000 troops occupying the city. Is that what this story is about?

[Semper Vigilantis]

Amen, Brother. I went to see the Veteran Memorials and then to Arlington to pay my respects back in 2004 or so. Even then we were told not to go to them after dark and there were areas to avoid. Shameful. DC should be a clean, safe place - not another dirtbag filled s-hole city. It broke my heart.
