A successful Washington, D.C. businessman with a spotless criminal record is preparing to go to trial for possessing a single, misfired and inoperable shotgun shell in his own home.

When Mark Witaschek isn’t working as a financial adviser, he enjoys hunting. Unfortunately for him, he also lives in a city with gun control laws so draconian, possessing an empty shell casing is punishable by one-year incarcerationand a $1,000 fine, according to The Washington Times.

His firearms are kept at his sister’s house in Virginia. The shotgun shell he kept at home as a keepsake — something to remind him of an incident that occurred during a hunting trip.

A report made by a vindictive ex-wife that Witaschek kept firearms in his home led to two searches of his home. The first yielded live ammunition — a felony subject to the same two-year sentence as for possession of an illegal firearm. But it was conducted without a warrant and thrown out by the judge.

The Washington Metropolitan Police was smarter the second time out, and arrested him on the basis of the misfired shotgun shell and a pack of sabots — sleeves having no propellant that are wrapped over a projectile before it’s rammed into a muzzleloading gun.

  • PIGS is PIGS …. those are not AMERICANS in those uniforms — and where is the big “hero” McCain? or those other “patriotic” congressRATS?
    “If COMMUNISM comes to America, it will come wrapped in the FLAG, and carrying the Bible”
    Well that is EXACTLY how it came.
    NeoCon was INVENTED by Irving Kristol, a TROTSKYITE COMMUNIST.
    NeoCon is COMMUNISM wrapped in an American flag.
    NeoCons refuse to WEAR an American uniform ….
    they just wrap themselves in the flag and send YOU and YOURS to be maimed and killed.
    WHY did American “conservatives” allow a Jewish COMMUNIST to lead them away from putting AMERICA FIRST, SECOND, and THIRD in their priority list? Israel is NOT AMERICA and is NOT our “ally”. Israel is a SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST/TRIBAL/COLLECTIVIST system.
    Of the 502 highest officers of the 1917 First Soviet Socialist Government, 467 were Jews. Alexandr Solzenitzyn writes in his last book on the history of Russia that the Jews murdered over 66 million Russians. Marx, Engels, Trotsky, Bakunum, Lenin, Stalin, Kruschev, and others were all Jews by two or at least one parent. All the prison camps, torture chambers, gulags, etc were all commanded and run by Jews.

    The greatest CURSE on humanity is this FAKE “judeo-christian” CR@P.
    There is NO SUCH THING as “judeo-CHRISTian”.
    CHRISTianity is a REPUDIATION and CONDEMNATION of Judaism.
    CHRIST fulfilled the OLD Testament and “closed the book” Why do you think there is an OLD Testament and a NEW Testament. Jews refuse to even acknowledge Christ.
