October 23, 201313 yr http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/23/miller-dc-businessman-faces-two-years-jail-unregis/ Wow. Un-friggin-believable. And "gun cleaning equipment?" What the heck? Is it illegal to possess a few brushes, solvent and lubricating oil now?
October 23, 201313 yr ...Police based their search on a charge made by Mr. Witaschek’s estranged wife, who had earlier convinced a court clerk to issue a temporary restraining order against her husband for threatening her with a gun, although a judge later found the charge to be without merit.... I'm having outrage fatigue.
October 23, 201313 yr Insane. Just insane. Those kids were lucky they weren't shot by those fucking assholes. What a bitch x-wife as well. Poor guy. I guess it is more important to arrest innocent people than actually go after real criminals. Just amazing. No wonder this country is on its way to hell.
October 23, 201313 yr I knew it was going to be bad when I read " estranged wife " but holy shit, this guy is totally getting shafted.
October 23, 201313 yr my post copied and pasted from the Kali law case thread... "This is why I have come to believe that almost all gun control laws are bad. There are no common sense gun laws because eventually those in power will try and subvert them to their own end."
October 23, 201313 yr I moved this to Gun Law discussion because I truly think this is something that can be discussed at an adult level. Keep it civil and on target.
October 23, 201313 yr I'm looking for some way to lend support to this guy - he's refused settling with the AG's office for lesser charges, and is going to trial instead and risking jail time. This same AG's office declined to prosecute David Gregory when he possessed an illegal magazine to use as a prop on air in D.C. I may try contacting him directly via his work contact.

October 23, 201313 yr Totally absurd. If you read this story without names and location you'd think this was Nazi Germany or the USSR. That's the way those gov'ts treated their citizens.

I'm no lawyer, but I wonder if he could claim selective prosecution?
October 23, 201313 yr I can't believe all the comments at teh bottom of that page are actually positive. Is the Washington Times not allowing the antis to offer comments? It's refreshing to see a united front for once!
October 23, 201313 yr Author It's even worse. There's only ONE FFL in all of DC, and if this guy goes out of business, no guns for you. Actually there's a case about this before scotus now (Lane v Holder) and it looks like it may be granted cert.
October 23, 201313 yr she should be prosecuted for false accusations the judge should be removed from the bench people need to start marching and demand their rights are upheld... +1 on contacting him oh and where is the aclu....lol
October 23, 201313 yr My heart is beating out of my chest right now...No more police, we have paramilitary that can go into your home based on basically nothing, as was evidenced by what they found - nothing. Albeit DC laws are stupid and he was technically in violation of the law, but I have never heard of someone being killed by empty shotgun shells and cleaning equipment. The police can point loaded weapons at you when you present no danger, an act of dealy force. If you did it to a police officer you'd get God knows how many years in prison. Then they pull a naked family member out of the shower and show him absolutely no human dignity. How did we get here, that law enforcement feels that i order to enforce the law that have to treat citizens who are inocent until proven guilty like sewer rats in their own home?????
October 23, 201313 yr "Note: If you have an empty/fired cartridge case, bullets not loaded in a case, primers, powder etc in your vehicle that is not stored so it can’t be accessed by the driver or any passenger you are in violation of DC Code and can be fined and jailed." Because you might (literally) handload them and then have ammo? WTF!
October 23, 201313 yr Thank god, another dangerous criminal off the streets. Now DC can go back to being the safe utopia it has always been.
October 23, 201313 yr I hope his kids remember that their Mother is the cause of having guns in their face and being yanked out of the shower and handcuffed naked, being humiliated, etc etc. Upside is that if he wins his freedom, getting full custody should be a piece of cake. It is rotten what "adults" can do to their kids in divorce to get revenge on someone else.
October 23, 201313 yr If this is true exactly how it is written, then it a disgrace on the part of the DC police (or whatever the hell they call themselves now). So, this is what the SOP's are now?
October 23, 201313 yr This can't be happening WTF??? This guy must have really pissed some high level official off some how. Or his ex is banging the DA or something. I can't believe that is the total story with all the facts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
October 23, 201313 yr You all forgot one of the passive victims.... The poor police officers that were asked to execute this fiasco. Knowing it was wrong!

It is rotten what "adults" can do to their kids in divorce to get revenge on someone else.On the flip side, if he loses and becomes a convicted felon, those kids will probably end up living full time with that "woman".

I can't believe that is the total story with all the facts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Probably nothing like that. Once D.C. lost Heller, they decided to double down on f*cking with gun owners. In other words the powers that be in D.C. are just like this guy's ex: petty, vindictive, willing to hurt anyone in order to feel better about losing and generally immoral.
October 23, 201313 yr You all forgot one of the passive victims.... The poor police officers that were asked to execute this fiasco. Knowing it was wrong! Oh yeah, I'm sure they are devastated and their lives have changed forever. More like, hey Cap, I did a good job, right?
October 23, 201313 yr You all forgot one of the passive victims.... The poor police officers that were asked to execute this fiasco. Knowing it was wrong! Ich einzige nur Befehle befolgt
October 23, 201313 yr You can only hope this guy is a very, very successful financial adviser and has the warchest to take on these DC Stormtroopers. He appears to have the correct principals. So much fail here starting with a clerk handing out a r.o. Disgusting this BS is getting more common in the good ole USA......
October 23, 201313 yr Massachusetts has a similar law - ammo components (including spent .22 rimfire cartridge cases) are defined by statute to be ammo and can only be possessed if one has a MA FID. Any tree hugging bird watcher that picks up a spent shotgun shell in a wildlife reserve is a criminal in MA. Can't wait for one to get snagged by this BS.
