This is one of those "wrath of a woman scorned" (ex-wife) cases. I am still trying to figure out how you "register" ammunition, or how you are supposed to "unregister" that ammo when you use it up at the range. This is a law that demands change, and Emily might just be the one to achieve it. Outrageous is an understatement.

I read the article--it seems it is illegal in DC to possess any ammunition for a firearm that is not registered in DC. Totally bizarre. Why should it matter, and how does such a law reduce crime? Further, the article states that the defendant has his firearms stored at his sister's house in Virginia--and they were apparently seized by a criminal warrant? On what grounds? Prosecutorial misconduct seems an appropriate inference.
