June 6, 2003 | WASHINGTON -- A man was arrested outside the Capitol Friday for carrying unregistered ammunition in his car, a police spokeswoman said. Capitol Police spokeswoman Jessica Gissubel said police stopped the car as it was traveling on Constitution Avenue on the north side of the Capitol because it had a gasoline container strapped to its roof. The man, who was not identified, voluntarily handed over the ammunition, described as a shotgun shell. It is illegal to carry unregistered ammunition in the District of Columbia. http://www.salon.com/news/wire/2003/06/06/capitol/ They can't find WMD, but they can find a dude with a shell in his truck.

That's because the guy with the shotgun shell *exists*. -- Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org

Normally I would make some cynical remark about the appropriateness of Constitution Avenue as a venue for violating the second amendment, but this sounds like a case of Darwin catching up with the guy in a way that only eliminates *him* from the gene pool rather than taking out innocent bystanders when the gas can falls off his car roof.... He's clearly from the clue-deprived side of the street about a variety of issues.
