The odd thing about the incident is that the man drove up to the US Capitol to deliver whatever to Obama. Obama lives in the White House. I thought most people in America knew that the President lives in the White House.
The ominous thing about the story was the quote about "unregistered ammunition." Since when, in America, did we have to register ammunition?

Paranoiacs tend to get focused on government in a generic sort of way-- I wonder if this was a "get Obama" or more of a "get the president" sort of thing. I don't suppose there's a site where anyone's recorded similar threats over past years?

DC law.
§ 7-2506.01. Persons permitted to possess ammunition
No person shall possess ammunition in the District of Columbia unless:
(1) He is a licensed dealer pursuant to subchapter IV of this unit;
(2) He is an officer, agent, or employee of the District of Columbia or the United States of America, on duty and acting within the scope of his duties when possessing such ammunition;
(3) He is the holder of the valid registration certificate for a firearm of the same gauge or caliber as the ammunition he possesses; except, that no such person shall possess restricted pistol bullets; or
(4) He holds an ammunition collector’s certificate on September 24, 1976.

Just more bad "journalism" in an article with no byline.

The ammo law was not at issue in that case.
From the same Wikipedia article:
The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted limited to the following question: Whether the following provisions, D.C. Code §§ 7-2502.02(a)(4), 22-4504(a), and 7-2507.02, violate the Second Amendment rights of individuals who are not affiliated with any state-regulated militia, but who wish to keep handguns and other firearms for private use in their homes?

Are you trying to say that it's legal to own a gun, but you can't have any ammunition?
