My biggest takeaway from that article.

WTF is "unregistered ammunition"?????

I knew DC had some crazy gun laws but I've never heard this one before.

If Robert Grimes sounds angry or frustrated, it’s because he is — he’s trying to defend his son, Logan Grimes, and his family’s name following the younger Grimes’ arrest amid the U.S. Capitol riot Wednesday.

Logan Grimes, 25, of Grand Rapids was arrested Wednesday in the 1000 block of Vermont Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., and accused of carrying a pistol without a license, possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device, and possession of unregistered ammunition, according to the Metropolitan Police Department website.

He was a little over 1.5 miles, as the crow flies, from the Capitol building and a few blocks away from the White House.

But Robert Grimes, 54, of Cadillac says his son is not a supporter of President Donald Trump and should not be associated with those Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol building. His son keeps an eye on groups such as the Proud Boys and was there to protest the Trump faction, he said.


So...despite the fact that he was carrying "a pistol without a license, possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device, and possession of unregistered ammunition" he should NOT have been arrested because he, "is not a supporter of President Donald Trump and should not be associated with those Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol building. His son keeps an eye on groups such as the Proud Boys and was there to protest the Trump faction."

Basically, he was there as the armed wing of the left, so he ought to be immune from prosecution. Yup...nothing terrifying about this.

I think I have lots of this. The “unregistered” part makes me uncertain.

It’s called no personal responsibility for anything. The mantra of this generation.

I've said it a million times here;

EVERY LEFTISTS wants separate laws for themselves.

That's why they are OK with BLM destroying cities, but want you jailed for going to a Trump rally.

You clearly don't understand these people at all.

Yes and no. Its more they are using new weapons of war. People don't form into lines with their muskets and fire against the advancing red coats. New warfare.

What is the new weapons Plausible Deniability and Prosecution Discretion. Its simple, the government turns a blind eye to their friends. Who are their friends... the enemy of their enemy.

Example:

1. I am the enemy of the local government official
2. You are a third party
3. You attack me
4. Local government official has prosecution discretion
5. No prosecution
6. Local or state government wins

(same at the federal level, no prosecution to friends)

The government and the government officials are fighting a war against you, but its thru third parties.

Another example of this would the tech censorship... the government isn't shutting down free speech.. a third party corporation is.

You either adjust or go extinct like the dinosaur.


(New warfare)

I don't trust anything I see/read any more.

I saw a guy on tiktok this morning burning his Trump flag, saying he's done with Trump.

I am not going to be affected by what could be fakers, pretending to be disgusted, when they may have always hated Trump.

I'm tired of all the mind games. I'm going with my conscious, which is telling me to trust no one.

Info on DC laws. This is why any sort of conservative rally in DC is not a great idea from the standpoint of being able to protect yourself from groups like antifa who don’t have laws equally enforced upon them....at least up until now per the article.

DC Ammunition Laws

There are certain classes of people who are permitted to possess ammunition in DC. A person in DC who wants to buy a firearm must first get a registration for that firearm. Once they have a registration for the firearm, they are allowed to purchase or be in possession of ammunition, but only ammunition of the same gauge and caliber as their registered firearm. For example, a person with a valid registration for a 12 gauge shotgun cannot be in possession of or purchase nine-millimeter ammunition that goes to a pistol. The type of ammunition someone purchases must correspond to the firearm that is registered in DC to that person. If you are unsure of DC ammunition laws, contact a gun attorney in DC for more information.

Individuals Allowed to Possess Ammunition The first group is licensed dealers. Individuals who are licensed to sell firearms in DC can possess ammunition as part of their inventory. On-duty police officers are also allowed to be in possession of ammunition. That means if a police officer is off duty or not otherwise engaged in police activity, they would not necessarily be allowed to be in possession of ammunition, it is permitted only for on-duty law enforcement. People with valid firearms registration certificates are also allowed to be in possession of ammunition as long as that ammunition goes to the firearm they have registered. Those with valid ammunition collector certificates are also allowed to be in possession of ammunition.

Individuals temporarily in possession of ammunition while participating in firearm safety classes can do so legally as long as their firearm safety class is being taught by a licensed instructor and they are only in possession of ammunition temporarily as part of the class. Restricted Ammunition

Certain classifications of ammunition are considered to be restricted even for people with valid firearms registrations in DC. For the most part, restricted bullets include:

50-caliber machine gun ammunition

Bullets made from certain kinds of metals – specifically bronze, depleted uranium, brass, steel, and

iron Armor piercing bullets Armor piercing bullets generally refer to large caliber, full jacket ammunition where the weight of the jacket is more than 25 percent of the weight of the full bullet.

DC ammunition law has a more specific definition of armor piercing bullets, so there is a way to determine whether the bullet is restricted or not restricted. Valid Firearm Registration Ammunition Laws A person with a valid firearm registration in DC is not necessarily allowed to be in possession of any kind of ammunition at all times. People with DC firearms registrations are allowed to possess ammunition only intended for use with their registered firearm.

Also, having that firearm registration does necessarily permit the firearm owner to carry ammunition outside of their home or place of business. A registration only allows a firearm owner to keep their gun in their home or their place of business. When a person’s firearm is registered, they can keep ammunition for that firearm at their home or place of business.

However, if they are found to be in possession of that ammunition outside of their home or place of business and they do not have the proper licensing to do that, they can be still charged with the crime. A separate license is required to carry the firearm and ammunition for that firearm outside of someone’s home or place of business.

I don’t care which side he’s on...you have to know the firearms laws for where you live or visit. That’s part of being a responsible gun owner.

Absolutely should have been charged. The law shouldn’t care why you broke it.
