It points out the hypocrisy of the anointed press and the futility and stupidity of the law itself. It also ignores that there are already laws on the books. They do this to try to make it seem easy to get items they think should be prohibited. But those items/transactions are prohibited!!! They are selling a false narrative to the public. |

Wow, that is funny. Shows how ignorant the media is in regards to local gun laws. http://thepatriotperspective.wordpress.com/2012/12/23/david-gregory-violates-dc-gun-law-on-national-tv/ And from the DC Criminal Defense Lawyer Blog:
3. Unlawful Possession of Ammunition – As I mentioned above, in the District of Columbia, unless you are a licensed firearms dealer, you can only possess ammunition for the type of firearm that you are lawfully registered to own. Possession of unlawful ammunition is a crime and can result in a fine of $1,000 and a year in prison. It is also illegal to own what is considered a “large capacity ammunition feeding device,” which 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. I chose to highlight these three major gun laws because they are the ones most likely to catch someone off guard that has no idea they are in violation of the Washington, DC gun laws. |

Not true. Federal law says you can purchase a long gun in any state as long as it is allowed by your state of residence and the state you purchase in. Some states only allow you to purchase in contiguous states though. NC just removed that clause from our laws recently. See USC 922 (b) (3)
http://www.atf.gov/publications/download/p/atf-p-5300-4.pdf. It's page 8 according to the page numbers but it is page nine of the PDF itself because of the title page. Good luck actually making it happen. Scottsdale Gun Club wouldn't let me do it. They insisted on shipping it to my FFL in NC. I can't blame them. The ATF is a capricious organization.
Quoted: If you are a say Florida resident it is illegal to buy a gun while you are in Nevada. The only legal way to do it is like buying over the internet, you pay for it at the dealer in NV and he ships it to your local dealer in FL where you fill out the 4473 and do the background check. |

Just because news footage shows the reporter standing with an NFA gmu or dealer sample doesn't mean they are somehow "in possession" of an NFA item that doesn't belong to them, because the owner is presumably standing right off camera. My point is just that IF they actually went to the trouble of talking to LEO and borrowing it from them, I am not that outraged about it. IF they didn't do that, then I completely agree that David Gregory should be charged with a crime.

Hmm, 5 minutes ago there was a nice pic on MTP's Facebook of Gregory with the two magazines clearly visible on the table as he was looking over his notes before the show.
As soon as I commented asking about compliance with DC's mag ban, the entire discussion was zapped.

That if he didn't meaningfully posses it, it's okay because he couldn't go out and kill kids with it. My outrage is based on the reasoning that if these items are so inherently evil that law-abiding people cannot possess them, then no one should be able to possess them. If we are to believe that anyway... 
The law is the law. And even the "thought leaders" must follow it--particularly if they are advocating for more laws. |

IF they borrowed it from law enforcement, I don't really see it as being substantially different from a news story showing a reporter shooting full auto or something. Just because news footage shows the reporter standing with an NFA gmu or dealer sample doesn't mean they are somehow "in possession" of an NFA item that doesn't belong to them, because the owner is presumably standing right off camera. My point is just that IF they actually went to the trouble of talking to LEO and borrowing it from them, I am not that outraged about it. IF they didn't do that, then I completely agree that David Gregory should be charged with a crime. But unlike an NFA story I doubt the police were in the same room with the magazine as an NFA owner would be. Don't NFA items have to stay within line of sight? |

... If a news organization went to the DC police and asked them if they could borrow a magazine to use in a news story, and the police okayed it, and the news organization returned it to the police after the show, it would be hard to argue that he would be "in possession" of it in any meaningful sense. The point would be such a technical one, that a judge would dismiss it, even if a prosecutor wanted to purse it, is my guess.

Would it be okay for David Gregory to borrow some child porn or meth from the police as well? lol Will your head explode it I tell you that news vans are sometimes parked illegally, while covering a story, and don't get ticketed!!!
