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.

Nail guns in construction use? You can hurt somebody with one of those.............

Further, he can only apply the law as written (or thats what he's supposed to do...) so if the law is written poorly he has to follow it.

Now they've moved to Virginia. Does the defendant still work in DC? If not, just don't go back...

You have much more respect for bad law, poorly informed attorneys and judges, and malicious prosecutions than do I.

The law itself though is evil on it's face no matter how it is written. Furthermore, when you understand that actual criminals with actual loaded guns on the street are caught and released, usually with probation and no jail time, then you understand that the enforcement of the law is also evil and intended to be evil. Every law that makes a felon out of someone for having a bullet or a live rifle, shotgun, or pistol round, or an empty magazine of whatever capacity, is evil and was passed with evil intent. You give these government criminals way too much credit when you write them off as merely stupid.

......I've been referring to DC as Mordor for several years now. And now, with all that has been coming to light in the past year about NSA spying on citizens, the oblique reference to the "All Seeing Eye" is even more appropriate.

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.
