devil's advocate This is a non-violent crime even if a felony. Should David lose his gun and voting rights over this? After all if he's free to live in our society he should have all the same rights as any other free man If it was YOU, you would be spending Christmas in jail. Why should the elite have a pass? |

Thank you for taking the time to bring this matter to our attention. Customer Service - Metropolitan Police Department" So how do you know, beyond a reasonable doubt, that it actually was a "high capacity magazine"???? Probable Cause to arrest. I'd say they are pretty damn close already. Let's see if there actually is an investigation and if they don't think they have it yet, if they can develop it. I've never met a judge that would sign that affidavit. If it did get signed then the case would never make it through screening. You've never met a judge that would sign off on PC? Wow, glad I don't work where you are. If your judges standard is Reasonable Doubt to make an arrest...holy shit.... 
ETA: It's not my job to determine if they will take the case. If PC exists I can charge. If they determine there is PC they should charge in this case. ETA2: Actually, I have reconsidered. I don't think they should charge...The law is BS and unconstitutional. Just because a jerk/ass like this guy has violated this law doesn't mean we should be inconsistent and want him charged - even with the satisfaction it would bring. |

[Dude, I could easily pass as a "firearms expert" in a court of law. If I saw a mag within 1-3 feet of my face I could easily tell it was real or not. Sight, Sound, even smell sometimes can give it away. Yeah, LaPierres' testimony could be damning. Does on a TV screen count without the actual piece of contraband? If you had CCTV footage of a convenience store robbery, but never recovered the weapon used in the robbery, would that "count?" To charge robbery or to tack on a Poss. of firearm charge? You can charge 1st degree robbery even if its an airsoft since they feared it might be real. No tack on charge.....prove its not an airsoft. When you seize a firearm for a charge like that you have to test fire it to show it's in proper working order and actually a firearm. No gun....no charge. Edit: heres the definition of a firearm in my state. If you can't prove it fires a steel/ metal projectile then its not a firearm. (3) "Firearm" includes any machine gun, pistol, rifle, air rifle, air pistol, "blank gun," "BB gun," or other instrument from which steel or metal projectiles are propelled, or which may readily be converted to expel a projectile, except crossbows, recurve, compound, or longbows, and except instruments propelling projectiles which are designed or normally used for a primary purpose other than as a weapon. The frame or receiver of the weapon shall be construed as a firearm under the provisions of this section. This is not a firearm however. LaPierre could easily testify that it was an actual "hi-cap" magazine. No where in the law does it say it has to be functional all the time. (if that was the case, then you could possess as the Orlite magazines you wanted.....those pieces of crap never work )

Keep up the pressure. I emailed D.C. Police about that segment a few minutes ago.
