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.

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.
