Would all round fishing weights be illegal?

I assume all fireworks are illegal.

What about powder actuated fasteners?

Nonsense.

Obviously a great case for SCOTUS. Or not, as they may agree, that the constitution allows Mordor.

DC’s definition of ammunition:

§ 7-2501.01. Definitions
(2)
“Ammunition” means cartridge
cases, shells, projectiles (including shot), primers, bullets (including restricted pistol bullets), propellant powder, or other devices or materials designed, redesigned, or intended for use in a firearm or destructive device

When anything comes out of Mordor on the Potomac I always assume the intent is evil and if I were a betting man that assumption would be a pretty safe bet.

Sounds like he had a bad lawyer.

No he was just a corrupt or stupid judge. He himself asked how the bullets could be illegal when the firearm that shoots them is legal. Obviously the law was not clear since it took four prosecuting attorneys and a judge four hours to decide the issue. And that means the judge rendered an insane verdict to save face for the prosecution not to do justice.

Or it means the law is badly written that permits musketry but is overbroad enough to include actual bullets (which may have been its real intent).
Don't assume evil intent when ignorance will do (again the fault of the lawyer).

As if their overt attempts to subvert the 2nd Amendment based on some incorrect assumptions were not somehow evil? If they were not first evil, they would not have pursued him in the first place. It's not just the matter of an argument over definitions. If they were not first evil, they would not be seeking to imprison a man and add his name to a registry of "gun offenders" for possession of some simple lead balls.

I understand the argument that the "loyal opposition" is usually not evil, just poorly informed; but when you seek to put a man in prison and brand him for life because of your ignorance, then you are no longer poorly informed, you are evil. Prison, and a criminal record, are not merely a difference of opinion; they are a consequence which permanently affects the life of the person less ignorant.......and nobody else.

They are evil, and I would be happy if DC were burned to the ground as a consequence of the evil of malicious prosecutors.

VMI77 wrote:So, pieces of metal, if "incorrectly shaped," are illegal in DC. So then, is a bullet mold and a bar of lead illegal? In the capitol of what used to be the United States of America, you can go to prison for having pieces of metal shaped in a particular way. And there are actually people who presumably are not entirely insane, but clearly evil, who will use their education and resources solely to ruin the lives of law abiding productive citizens, and judges insane enough to endorse their evil behavior. What a sewer parts of this country have become.
