Did NBC David Gregory commit Felony on Live TV in Washington DC?
http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/201...david-gregory/
“DC High Capacity Ammunition Magazines – 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.�.”

Your link does not connect to anything. This one works though:

(Edit, looks like Alabama Shooter and myself were posting simultaneously)
The fact of the matter is, we do not know the circumstances of how Gregory got the magazine to use as a prop. Most gun laws have exemptions for props owned by media companies and such may be the case here. For all we know, the magazine used may very well belong to the D.C. police department and was loaned for use as a prop. While I'm certainly no fan of the way that Gregory conducted the interview with LaPierre and would like as much as anyone to call him a law-breaking hypocrite, I'm not willing to do so based on the very limited information that we have. |

I just emailed the DC Mayor asking him to enforce his own gun laws.
Nothing will come from it, but have to try.

He actually just PROVED Wayne LaPierre's point; that even if they are banned, people will be able to get a hold of them - because they are banned in D.C. and he sat right there holding one up for the cameras.

I have to wonder of the President of the NRA had been holding the magazine instead...

I doubt he'll get in any trouble. I would like to see a complete expose of how the magazine was obtained, but I doubt that will happen either.

When the leaders of DC can't even follow their own laws, I have little to no hope of them actually enforcing them.

Would not matter if the police lent it to him. That would be illegal too. That is how the Blackwater guys got in trouble (one of the ways).

Yeah, a Bushmaster, he also had two pistols.. a Sig, and a something I don't remember. Apparently he only used the Bushmaster.
And the magazine was legal if it was non-functional. If it was functional... |

Could have been non-functional.
It's not what you know, it's what you can prove.

the story is changing so much I don't know who to believe. I would like to see the evidence report from the cops to see which weapons were found where instead of the various news reports.

Some years back an anti gun activist brought an M-1 into DC in violation of the DC laws. No action was taken as it was only a "technical violation".
Nothing will come of this incident. |

He wasn't holding up a photograph, or a solid plastic "blue" replica. He was holding up what certainly appeared to be a genuine, metal magazine body. I don't see how that would be exempted just because someone fiddled with the guts. |
