There is no harm. The whole purpose is to harass law-abiding citizens and turn them into criminals.

This is actually an excerpt from Emily Miller's new book, "Emily Gets Her Gun. ... but Obama wants to take yours." I'm about half way thru it and a lot of it was covered in her Washington Times series but still worth the read. Recommended reading if for no other reason other than to support someone that has worked tirelessly for the last 2 years supporting our 2A rights. YMMV.

Come on folks, we all have to be honest here and admit that empty shell casings can cause a VERY nasty red mark, or God forbid, an ouchy eye if they are thrown hard enough. I'm sure there are a number of studies done by the NIH showing that this evil device takes control of ANY person possessing it and FORCES them to commit evil, premeditated brass chucking. So certain is this evil possession, that, as in the Minority Report, it must be stopped preemptively, thus the need to prosecute to the full extent of the law. UNLESS you already live in the greater DC area; in which case, you are already such a neutered, helpless peasant that the ruling class has no worries about you rising up to hurt anyone on your way to stand in line for your handout, oops, I mean government-supported paycheck.......
We can now return to our regularly scheduled program.

If an empty casing can do that much damage... what about an empty "clip" , that has the ability to hold 7 empty casings!!! Mass murder I tell you!

My bad. Read too many other posts where the sensationalism is meant as fact...
Stupid policy. I'd love to know whose policy it is!

No head scratching necessary....only wanting criminals and government (but I repeat myself) to have guns is the primary objective of "gun control." The liberal mind has to rationalize that insanity somehow.
