It Begins: DC Police Raid Businessman’s House Searching For Unregistered Ammo

This is crazy…

The Story:

A Washington, DC gun raid which involved more than 30 officers was not conducted at a known drug den or gang bangers’ hideout but at a respected businessman’s home – all to enforce a controversial city ammo law.

The shocking incident even included the man’s teenage son being pulled naked from the shower after the door was broken down with a battering ram.

In a nation where Americans supposedly possess the same Second Amendment rights, Mark Witaschek, a man without a criminal record, faces prison time for possession of unregistered ammo.

“Anyone who thinks the police won’t come to take your guns is naïve,” Emily Miller of The Washington Times wrote.

The DC law enforcement officers were searching for gun paraphernalia such as empty holsters, ammo, empty magazines, ammo receipts, and even gun cleaning equipment. Mark Witaschek’s entire block was locked down by Washington, DC officers. His 14-year-old daughter opened the door and was met with more than two dozen officers in full tactical gear. The men participating in the gun raid reportedly pointed their firearms at Witaschek and his girlfriend’s heads.

So, why’d this happen?

Washington, DC law mandates that all residents register all firearms owned with the police department and only registered gun owners can possess ammunition – even spent casings and shells.

The officers premised their search on a claim made by Witaschek’s estranged wife. The woman was reportedly able to convince a court clerk to issue a temporary restraining order against the father of her children because he had allegedly threatened her with a gun. A judge later ruled in favor of the husband.

…and what did they take?

A list of items found in the DC gun raid after Witaschek’s house was tossed for hours, as shared by the Washington Times’ Emily Miller:

  • One live round of 12-gauge shotgun ammunition — an inoperable shell that misfired during a hunt years earlier that Witaschek kept as a souvenir.

  • One handgun holster — which is legal, even in Washington, DC.

  • One expended round of .270 caliber ammunition — a spent brass casing.

  • One box of Knight bullets for reloading, according to police notation on the warrant. Except, Miller reveals, they aren’t for reloading; they’re for antique-replica, single-shot, muzzle-loading rifles.

Anyone that believes that we are not in a police state —– is a fool.

  1. The DC Capitol police also threatened me with a weapon when I was protesting at the Capitol government intelligence harassment and surveillance of religious persons. They knew I was non-violent and I gave them permission to search me to see if I was armed. I am a satyagrahi–a follower of MK Gandhi and a conservative.
    They aimed a weapon at me and I said to the officer, he isn’t going to shoot me, is he? and the officer said, “I can’t promise you that, ma’am. This is for stepping over a chain on the Capitol steps.
    After they menaced me with this weapon, and I stepped over the chain and sat down, not wanting to see the bullet coming at me, they walked over calmly and arrested me. they had no fear of me and obviously did not believe I was armed or dangerous.
    I am telling you this story–even though I refuse to prosecute the officer involved– so that you know that the Obama administration and the government in power treats Catholics and other religious that are conservative like this and hate us. This is why they menaced me at the Capitol. Occupy never got this type of treatment and they were violent.

    1. so that you know that the Obama administration and the government in power treats Catholics and other religious that are conservative like this and hate us.

      I got news for you; they’re not that big on we Baptists either. 🙄

      But, this is what happens when the GOP runs people that cannot win.
