The reference ammoland thread says :
“A police officer, who traveled to the firing range at the request of the Virginia Tech Police Department, said he saw Zhao with a AR-15 rifle and a 30-round magazine. The combination of a magazine with more than 20 rounds and an AR-15 rifle is not permitted for noncitizens, and is a felony charge that could lead to up to five years in prison.”

and that is the entirety of the evidence, they never found the 30-round mag

That was the violation? On the word of the officer, but they never found the magazine? Wouldn't one think the officer could at least have taken a picture if it wasn't in his power to confiscate?

Or maybe the Virginia Tech Police Department is all rent-a-cops, although I recall reading they are a fully empowered PD.

The idiotic law about magazine capacity and rifle type is stupid enough (that you can own them but not buy them in Virginia maybe?) but to add in an additional wrinkle that if you bought it out of state you could own it, but if you are a non-citizen, you can't use it unless you get some other kind of non-AR15 weapon?????

Good God. It gets stupider and stupider.

See, these are the main reasons as a citizen I am (and have been for years) about the volume of legislation and statutes on the books in the Federal Register. (although, as these two graphs show from the uber-liberal George Washington University) President Trump is breaking new ground in REDUCING legislative overhead...just as he promised as a candidate to do:

I read something that stated that at any time, every single citizen (granted, this man is NOT a citizen) is in violation of at least 3-10 laws on the books, which means that, if the government wanted to, it could prosecute anyone at any time. (This appears to be what the Mueller Investigation is banking on...they have "brought the person" (Trump) and the Mueller Team is "finding the crime".

Beria would be proud.
