Failure to arrest David Gregory

Last Sunday, in a Meet The Press interview with NRA Executive Vice-President Wayne LaPierre, NBC’s David Gregory repeatedly held up a 30 round magazine to illustrate his point that there should be a law against possessing such accessories.

The problem?  There IS a law in DC where the NBC studio is located. That law, like many of the draconian laws in DC that Gregory is a champion of, is very clear on what is prohibited:

D.C. Official Code § 7-2506.01

(b) No person in the District shall possess, sell, or transfer any large capacity ammunition feeding device regardless of whether the device is attached to a firearm. For the purposes of this subsection, the term large capacity ammunition feeding device means a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition. The term large capacity ammunition feeding device shall not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition..”

The law makes no exception for self-righteous news commentators and Gregory cannot even claim ignorance of the law since his office reportedly contacted the DC Metropolitan Police Department prior to the show and were told that it was illegal in the District. Noted gun rights activist Ed Levine contacted the MPD and received the following response:

“The Metropolitan Police Department is in receipt of your e-mail regarding David Gregory segment on “Meet the Press.” MPD has received numerous e-mails informing us of the segment. NBC contacted MPD inquiring if they could utilize a high capacity magazine for their segment. NBC was informed that possession of a high capacity magazines is not permissible and their request was denied. This matter is currently being investigated. Thank you for taking the time to bring this matter to our attention.”

But I will predict that nothing will come of the ‘investigation’. Why? Because David Gregory is one of the ‘elites’ who cannot possibly commit a crime because their only intent is to serve the greater good of the progressive agenda.

But dare to be an ordinary citizen and break one of the District’s draconian gun laws and you will be in jail so fast you won’t even be able to say “What happened to my country?”

and the article goes on  to mention some experiences of returning war vets

Shouldn't this set a precedent? Will every attorney now use this should a commoner ever get caught with one.

I think there should be a million magazine march done now.

I wonder how much he wants for it.

it was a steel mag, so i'm guessing $25 plus shipping.

See, now that he/ they got caught, there will be an emergency meeting to change the law, to wit:
c.  Exception being the use of said device in demonstrating the need to outlaw such devices for the whole of the nation.  Especially in the case of a otherwise uneducated Liberal reporter vs. NRA Representative debate.
