Welcome to Washington DC, where you can be arrested and, apparently, convicted for the possession of inert metal.
Yep, a resident of our nation's capital has been convicted of possession of "unlawful ammunition".
(he was found in possession of musket balls)
Witaschek must pay a $50 fine, was given credit for time served, and the worst punishment in my opinion is that he must now register as a "Firearms Offender" with the Metropolitan Police.

Whats next? Arrested for 'gun porn' for checking out the auctions on GunBroker?
