D.C. cops under orders to arrest tourists with empty bullet casings

[jyro]

Washington police are operating under orders to arrest tourists and other non-residents traveling with spent bullet or shotgun casings, a crime that carries a $1,000 fine, a year in jail and a criminal record, according to a new book about the city's confusing gun laws.

"Empty shell casings are considered ammunition in Washington, D.C., so they are illegal to possess unless you are a resident and have a gun registration certificate," pens Emily Miller in her investigative book, "Emily Gets Her Gun: ... But Obama Wants to Take Yours."

Under the law, live or empty brass and plastic casings must be carried in a special container and unavailable to drivers. Having one, for example, in a cup holder or ash tray is illegal.

The law covering the transport of guns, ammo, and used ammo casings was enacted in 2009 after the Supreme Court overturned the District's 30-year gun ban in 2008.

Am I the only one with the urge to sprinkle thousands of spent .22lr or even shorts all over the police station front steps? Go all over DC and drop big handfuls all over the place like confetti.

That doesn't even make sense. Oh yeah, it's Washington DC.

That would shut down Washington and raise the terror level through the roof
