--- Quote ---In Washington, D.C., it is illegal to posses ammunition if you don’t have a gun registered. It is also unlawful to have ammo that is not in the same caliber or gauge as your legal gun. The penalty for holding a round of the wrong caliber is up to a year in jail -- as stiff as the punishment for illegal gun possession.

--- Quote ---The guide says the sale and transfer of ammo is prohibited unless the seller is a licensed firearms dealer. Well, there’s only one legal gun dealer in the District, Charles Sykes, and he doesn’t sell ammo. He just transfers guns. That narrowed my search down significantly.

Am I the only one that finds it ironic that the only place you can buy a gun in DC is in the police department?

Not too far off from that "spanish or english" gun safe exaggerated video thing someone else posted a lil while ago.
*sigh*

I have been following Emily Miller's column, documenting her journey to owning a gun (and she still can't carry it!) ....... makes me so glad I live in America!
Her latest column reports a small victory: the mandatory $250 4 hour "gun safety course" which was not even available in DC, has been made into a training video available for viewing free at the Metro Police Dept. ...... the libs are feeling the heat, and are not happy about it. Were I in Emily's shoes, I'd be careful: It is often dangerous for the messenger to speak Truth to Power.
