NCTexan Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Washington Tmes: Injured vet’s guns stolen by D.C. Police After being injured on his second tour of duty in Afghanistan, Lt. Augustine Kim spent the night in a D.C. jail for possessing unregistered guns. Mr. Kim was transporting his firearms from his parents’ house in New Jersey to South Carolina when he stopped at Walter Reed in Washington for a medical appointment in the summer of 2010. After being pulled over, handcuffed, arrested, thrown in jail overnight, his guns were confiscated by the city. In the end, the platoon leader felt forced to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge, which was later dismissed, but the District still refuses to return to him $10,000 worth of firearms and parts. The national guardsman will deploy to Kosovo this summer. The city should return his property before he leaves to serve our nation overseas for the third time. Please read the entire story... it gets worse.... but take a pill first. The guns were legal even in NJ. @SrWoodchuck @Pepper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's some racism at work there in DC, probably Holder's people. The most popular comment at the newspaper article has this ending line "AS LONG AS THERE IS A DEMOCRAT PARTY, YOUR LIBERTIES ARE AT RISK!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
