GUN CONTROL LOONIES GO AROUND THE BEND

SPECIAL POST

This news has finally made it to the forefront.  Last summer, police in Washington, D.C. swooped down upon the house of Mark Witaschek, slammed his bathroom door open and dragged his naked 16-year-old son from the shower, and pointed their guns at Wiytaschek and his girlfriend.   For two hours, they ransacked the place and then arrested him for being in possession of "unregistered ammunition."  Prosecutors have vowed to prosecute him to the 'fullest extent of the law."  

What horde of firepower did he have?  

• “One live round of 12-gauge shotgun ammunition” — actually an inoperable shell that misfired during a hunt years earlier, that Witaschek kept as a souvenir.
• “One handgun holster” — perfectly legal.
• “One expended round of .270 caliber ammunition” — a spent brass casing.
• One box of Knight brass for reloading. Except they aren’t for reloading — they’re for antique-replica, single-shot, muzzle-loading rifles.  

It was the second time his house was invaded.  A month earlier, they raided his house and found a box of .40 caliber ammo, (20 rounds), a gun cleaning kit and an antique Civil-War era Colt that he kept on his desk.  Antique guns are legal in D.C., but they seized the weapon anyway.  

Violent crime is three times higher in D.C. than anywhere else.  Don't the cops have anything better to do?  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
