It probably won't, but at least it will make it easier to pin the tail on the donkey afterwards

potatorat45
Dude was not arrested with a firearm, was picked up on a bike 3 miles from said gun which was in his car. The firearm charge was an add-on.
AlmostScientist
What was the initial the charge if he was just chillin on his bike?
potatorat45
Too close to the VP's house, I'd bet. He was trying to get some mental help, which the VP is big on.
AlmostScientist
I mean there are things called hospitals and therapists but yeah ok

The guy claimed he'd tried to get assistance from both the VA and his local hospitals, as he is a medically discharged vet. We'll see.

CanadianGunner
Why werent all his mags full?
VillagerJeff
Right? I mean sure you only havev113 rounds but then just use 4 mags with all but one full. I mean he's obviously as idiot so expecting him
VillagerJeff
To be able to divide 113 by 30 might be too far beyond him.
ThePerks2010
Really shit cheap mags that fuck up if filled to capacity?
AlmostScientist
Ammo is hella expensive rn
HoytLancaster
Maybe there was 150 in mags if full plus an additional 113? No clue honestly. Just my guess.
HoytLancaster
Article doesn't specify but it said he also had a speed loader for mags so I'm thinking full mags with extra ammo.

Ok in DC to have a firearm you need to register the ammo with the gun.

At first i was like "what the fuck is registered ammunition??" Thanks. Seems impractical, i could see registering a type maybe but

Registration of individually serialized cartridges on a per weapon basis just seems impractical both on the government and owner side.

Painkiller1020
It makes it easier to identify a shooter if the ammunition is registered even if the gun isn't recovered. And every legally sold round...
Painkiller1020
Is recorded by the sales person. Which makes it significantly more difficult for people to find and purchase unregistered ammunition.
Malikhi
What? How? There's no serial numbers, it's rapidly expendable, and you can't track it. How is it registerable? Makes no sense

You can’t possess ammunition for a caliber gun you don’t own. Ex/ you can’t possess .38 ammo if you only have a 9mm registered in DC.

It isn’t that each round needs to be registered. Source: I live in DC with several pistol and long gun permits.

Ok I’ll ask, what the fuck is “unregistered ammunition”? I’ve got a lot of ammunition. None of it is “registered”. Wtf is going on?
hellothisispeggy
Misleading as all hell. He was unarmed all of that shit was found in his car parked in a garage several miles away.
DeadWhiteMale
What difference does that make? It was a thousand miles from his home in Texas.
Craizie
Still a bit misleading, no?
zxwaffen
It says it was in his car. Texas LE put out a warning about him and had been monitoring him after his family reported his behavior.
hellothisispeggy
But the pic above fails to mention he wasn't in or near his car and implies by the fuss they are making that he was found in his car.
zxwaffen
It doesn't mention he was held on an emergency mental health warrant two weeks ago either. Memes aren't encyclopedia entries.

barnsandnobel
That begs the question, should the constitution still apply in territories that get no say in the matter?

Right, but if they dont have equal representation, why should federal law still apply? Or why should they pay taxes?

"unregistered" is kind of deceptive. you can't posses ammo unless you have a registered weapon, and any ammo has to be specific to that gun

So he packed a rifle and drove TO DC? With the rifle? In an attempt to "Defend himself" when he was going TO a place? Kyle Rittenhouse much?

Robbers, gangs, criminal activity, bad actors. I could go on

Is there a journalistic source for any of these claims?

Thanks, but this essentially says the same as other news articles. Car full of ammo, assault rifle, sought by police after worrisome ...
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
statements to relatives. Nothing about him desperately seeking mental health treatment or other claims made in the anonymous Reddit post.
hellothisispeggy
It does clearly state that he was unarmed when he was found though. unlike the linked cnbc article that makes no mention of it.

Well fuck. Shows what I get for jumping to conclusions. Gonna go find an actual source now.

Please post the source you found if you could?

Exactly this censored out username post on reddit holds the same validty as journalists 'inside sources'

Not unless he’s getting the info directly from a person involved.Because if he’s not then he’s just summarizing what other journalists wrote
NeutralPolitics
Again. This is some random ass person with zero way of verifying it and you still believe him? You really pushing that agenda hard.
LetumComplexo
Nice ad hominem, but you completely ignored my point. Unless that commenter got his information directly from a source then all he is doing
LetumComplexo
using *their* unnamed inside sources. A summary is less credible than the original article, which is less credible than the source.

Whenever I find something on the internet that sounds remotely questionable, I always snopes it.

Probably should do actual research instead of relying on other people to tell you what to think
CivilizedUndead
That's why flat earthers exist. No amount of amateur google research is gonna be as good as professionals who study that shit for a living.
NeutralPolitics
Uh no this is isn't about factual discoveries this is about politics you can only trust the direct sources.
