Mississippi proposes ammunition registration in Senate Bill 2030, link in article

This has zero chance of passage. Will probably not even make it out of committee.

hope your right, nothing has a zero chance and "will probably" isn't that great but I have faith you know since you live there and know the mentality
With my state I don't feel anything ids for sure. Most of the thinly populated areas of the state are nothing but staunch traditional , religious, gun loving patriot types but the population centers are mostly comprised of transplanted people that think this would be a cool place to live. We are outnumbered by them in the vote, or people aren't voting in the rural......its a strange place politically. So far all the 2nd issues are surviving but I never rest

The reason I'm so sure of this, is that the bill has no co-sponsors even tho there are a couple Dems that serve on the same Judicial committee as the author. He has no backing for it.

For any on the fence, here's where we are headed if the b.s. attacks on our 2A freedoms aren't halted. It's written by Emily Miller. She wrote the book "Emily Got Her Gun" detailing the b.s. Washington DC residents go through to get a gun.

Mark Witaschek, a successful financial adviser with no criminal record, is facing two years in prison for possession of unregistered ammunition after D.C. police raided his house looking for guns. Mr. Witaschek has never had a firearm in the city, but he is being prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The trial starts on Nov. 4.

The police banged on the front door of Mr. Witaschek’s Georgetown home at 8:20 p.m. on July 7, 2012, to execute a search warrant for “firearms and ammunition … gun cleaning equipment, holsters, bullet holders and ammunition receipts.”

Mr. Witaschek’s 14-year-old daughter let inside some 30 armed officers in full tactical gear.

D.C. law requires residents to register every firearm with the police, and only registered gun owners can possess ammunition, which includes spent shells and casings. The maximum penalty for violating these laws is a $1,000 fine and a year in jail.

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.

After entering the house, the police immediately went upstairs, pointed guns at the heads of Mr. Witaschek and his girlfriend, Bonnie Harris, and demanded they surrender, facedown and be handcuffed.

In recalling what followed, Mr. Witaschek became visibly emotional in describing how the police treated him, Ms. Harris and the four children in the house.

His 16-year-old son was in the shower when the police arrived. “They used a battering ram to bash down the bathroom door and pull him out of the shower, naked,” said his father. “The police put all the children together in a room, while we were handcuffed upstairs. I could hear them crying, not knowing what was happening.”

Police spokesman Gwendolyn Crump would not provide further information on the events in this case.

The police shut down the streets for blocks and spent more than two hours going over every inch of his house. “They tossed the place,” said Mr. Witaschek. He provided photos that he took of his home after the raid to document the damage, which he estimated at $10,000.

The police found no guns in the house, but did write on the warrant that four items were discovered: “One live round of 12-gauge shotgun ammunition,” which was an inoperable shell that misfired during a hunt years earlier. Mr. Witaschek had kept it as a souvenir. “One handgun holster” was found, which is perfectly legal.

“One expended round of .270 caliber ammunition,” which was a spent brass casing. The police uncovered “one box of Knight bullets for reloading.” These are actually not for reloading, but are used in antique-replica, single-shot, muzzle-loading rifles.

This was the second police search of his home. Exactly one month earlier, Mr. Witaschek allowed members of the “Gun Recovery Unit” access to search without a warrant because he thought he had nothing to hide.

After about an hour and a half, the police found one box of Winchester .40 caliber ammunition, one gun-cleaning kit (fully legal) and a Civil War-era Colt antique revolver that Mr. Witaschek kept on his office desk. The police seized the Colt even though antique firearms are legal and do not have to be registered.

Mr. Witaschek is a gun owner and an avid hunter. However, he stores his firearms at the home of his sister, Sylvia Witaschek, in suburban Arlington, Va.

Two weeks after the June raid, D.C. police investigators went to his sister’s house — unaccompanied by Virginia police and without a warrant — and asked to “view” the firearms, according to a police report. She refused. The next day, the D.C. police returned to her house with the Arlington County police and served her with a criminal subpoena.

The Office of Attorney General of the District of Columbia Irvin Nathan signed an affidavit on Aug. 21, 2012, in support of a warrant to arrest Mr. Witaschek. A spokesman for Mr. Nathan would not comment on a pending case.

Mr. Witaschek went to the police station on Aug. 24 at 5:30 a.m. to turn himself in, but was not transferred to central booking until 11:30 a.m., at which time he was told it was too late to be arraigned that day. He spent the night in jail and was released the next day at 10 a.m.

Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier reserves such harsh tactics for ordinary citizens. When NBC News anchor David Gregory violated the gun-registration law last year by wielding an illegal 30-round magazine on live television, he was not arrested.

Mr. Nathan also gave Mr. Gregory a pass, writing that prosecuting him “would not promote public safety.”

Mr. Nathan, who is unelected, showed no such leniency to Mr. Witaschek. In September 2012, the attorney general offered Mr. Witaschek a deal to plead guilty to one charge of unlawful possession of ammunition with a penalty of a year of probation, a $500 fine and a contribution to a victims’ fund.

Mr. Witaschek turned down the offer. “It’s the principle,” he told me.

To increase the pressure a year later, Mr. Nathan tacked on an additional charge in August of illegal ammunition from the first, warrantless search. Mr. Witaschek chose to accept the risk of prison time by going to trial instead of pleading guilty.

The firearms laws in places such as the District of Columbia, Chicago, New York, Connecticut and New Jersey do nothing to reduce violence, but merely infringe on the Second Amendment rights of the law-abiding.

However, if these laws are going to be enforced, the police and government must treat everyone equally.

The charges against Mr. Witaschek should be dropped.

Just as Hell is the center of Evil in the Bible and Christian minds (no insult intended for other religions/non-religions), DC is the center of Evil for the Constitution and the Second Amendment...where a spent shell casing will get you a year in jail...

NRA WARNING ISSUED OVER ATTACK ON 2ND AMENDMENT
'Compliance with the law will not necessarily spare gun owners grief'

http://mobile.wnd.com/2014/01/nra-warni ... amendment/

“…………..Filippidis separated from the rest of his family, the officer then focused his interrogation on Filippidis’ wife, asking her where the gun was. She first told the officer that she did not know, but then, wanting to be helpful, suggested it could be in the glove box or console. “I’m scared of it,” she told the officer. “I don’t want anything to do with it.”
According to article, the officer again confronted Filippidis, calling him a “liar” and insisting his family said he had the gun. Filippidis continued to protest he didn’t have it. The officer summoned backup and told Filippidis the matter could be resolved if he would just tell him where the gun was.
Three marked police cars arrived on the scene. Filippidis’ wife and children were patted down by the officers. The family members were separated and put into the back seats of the different police cars…..”.


If you got better things to do than show your face at the capitol or don't think your state is in peril , then your priorities are seriously misplaced, get to fighting or get the hell out....and I'm not talking about feeble emails

All you new gun owners , stand up and drag your ass to the capitol tomorrow, screw the stupid NFL game.......DVR, VCR or just grow up and fulfill your destiny as a TRUE American patriot
 
Re: Gun Appreciation Day ‘14 CAPITOL RALLIES JANUARY 19th NO

I had read that Oli. It's pretty bad what it's coming to. For those not familiar with it, he was travelling route 95. It's a major route that goes from Florida all the way up into New England. It passes every major city from Richmond to Boston. While NY, CA and CT have been getting the recent anti gun attention in the media, MD is quietly right there with them.

The incident above happened at the Fort McHenry Tunnel. For those who don't remember history, in the war of 1812 the British marched right through the fledgling Washington DC. The next town on the list was Baltimore. The men took up arms with the citizenry in support. The British troops were stopped from entering the city and their Navy was stopped on the bay when they couldn't get past Fort McHenry. The battle is told in the National Anthem. An area famous for an armed citizenry defending the city has now become a place to harass someone travelling unarmed with his family. Pathetic.

Get out there guys!
