Man with rifle and ammunition in car arrested near residence of Kamala Harris
[Washington Examiner] A Texas man sought by police was arrested on Wednesday near the home of Vice President Kamala Harris and found to have a firearm and ammunition in his car.

Paul Murray, 31, was stopped by the Secret Service and apprehended around the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., after law enforcement was made aware of a Lone Star State police bulletin that pinned him as a wanted man. Police found a rifle and ammunition in his car, which was parked in a downtown garage some distance away from the vice president's dwelling.

Murray was booked on charges of carrying a dangerous weapon, carrying a rifle or shotgun outside of a business, possession of unregistered ammunition, and possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device.

"A bunch of cops passed me at the National Cathedral, which is just up the road from the observatory," Andrew Leyden, a former Capitol Hill staffer who witnessed the arrest, told CNBC. "What was really odd was it was marked units and unmarked units."

Questions.
With the demand for AR's and the almost non-existent availability of 223/556 ammo. How was it he "RECENTLY" was able to acquire these items as claimed?


Also note:
Where he was arrested "the Naval Observatory" and where they claim to have found the weapon/ammo in a car parked in a DOWNTOWN Garage? I checked... 1.2 to 1.4 Miles away. Not close nor in his physical possession but stored/locked/secured in a vehicle.

Most Articles are using the catch phrase"... carrying a dangerous weapon, carrying a rifle or shotgun outside of a business, possession of unregistered ammunition, and possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device." He was neither carrying or in physical possession of a weapon.

These are NOT DC Gun laws So it seems the writer is writing from a UK/Canada or the general Liberal Lack of Knowledge of US Gun law perspective?


Also Note: Harris was at the Blair House 2.5 Miles away. Not the VP residence 1/2 mile from the Naval Observatory.


I smell an event embellished for the "Anti-AR" Ban agenda we al have heard of.

The guy was a tourist in WDC, if he was a serious threat, he wouldn't have driven a car with everything packed in his trunk.

This is what he would have driven, If he were serious.

#4 Any Parking Garage (reported that the vehicle was located in one) at is over a half-mile walk from the VP's house (1 Observatory Cir NW, Washington, DC 20008).

If the guy was there for nefarious reasons, and it sounds like he had a warrant already, lock him up.

If he was just walking around the area (as I have done in the past - pretty interesting buildings), then just go for the existing warrant and cut out all this other cr*p.

#5 Insurrection story was getting kind of thin after the FBI didnt find any firearms so amping up something was critical.
Second Secretary of the Central Committee Harris staying at the Blair House is most interesting given its proximity to the White House. Its across the street for those who don’t know the VP residence is way up Massachusetts Avenue by the National Cathedral. Important to have a sentient decision maker closer for the 2am call or paranoia about her future?
Inquiring minds want to know!

#6 possession of unregistered ammunition

Never heard of that one before. Can I get a group discount if I register the whole box at once?
