David Gregory Enters Meme Territory

[Justin]

David Gregory's on-air transgression of Washington DC gun laws has started to become an internet meme.

This is a standard capacity magazine.

Or as I call it, high capacity assault clip.

EDIT: reordered the joke.

 

[locnload]

Call me sinical, but I suspect the DC Police are not so much invetigating whether he violated the law, but scrambling for a way to brush this off with a small fine and a day of community service at the homeless shelter. You know, instead of a 4:00 a.m. no knock raid complete with guns pointed at your family and your 7 pound poodle stomped to death, and a felony record like us peons would get for violating DC gun laws. Having him face the full consequences would only serve to show how truly evil all these legal land mines are that the gun control proponents want. And they couldn't have that. Hide and watch, the man will get a slap on the wrist at worst.

 

[1911 guy]

Agreed. Personally, I'd like to see him monkey stomped by law enforcement just to prove the point that the left, the media and anyone not a "gun toting redneck" is subject to the very same insane laws they seek to hang us with.

 

[Grassman]

I truly hope some action is levied against him, that would show that liberal scumbag media type the kind of scrutiny any law abiding gun owner is under. Thirty round mags aren't illegal in my state, yet, but if they were I'd have to obey the law.

 

[Grassman]

"Assault magazine" is still my favorite.

 

[tomrkba]

He needs to get jail time and a fine. Anything less means the law only applies to the peasants.

 

[gbran]

I think D.C. is in a no-win stuation here. If they don't prosecute him, they give themselves a huge black eye for unequal enforcement of the law which makes it a sham.

 

[joeschmoe]

We should point to him as a failure of the government to enforce current gun laws. "He violated gun laws on national tv but not prosecuted."

 

[Grassman]

Yeah either way, his actions proved the idiocy of US gun laws. I don't expect any action to be taken, which further proves the point.

 

[Ms_Dragon]

I'm also rather partial to using this picture every time I read some bleeding heart say "assault clip".

Be careful you don't poke your eye out with that one Petals.

DINGDINGDING!

By holding up one of those magazines on national television while in a city with some of the strictest gun control in the nation, Gregory inadvertently demonstrated that a magazine ban is a futile effort.

 

[Buck Kramer]

That made my day! Proof we don't enforce laws we already have!

 

[gp911]

That cheered me up. I want to see what his eventual punishment is and who actually furnished the magazine to him.

No worky. Doesn't appear through either FF or IE.

DC better be careful - if they do burn him bad, he may become a conservative. ;>

 

[Sav .250]

This guy looks just like Howdy Doody. Older guys know who I`m talking about.
Hard to stay on track watching him doing his show and thinking, Howdy hasn`t changed a bit over the years.

 

[krupparms]

The only thing missing was Clara bell the cow!

 

[C.F. Plinker]

Could/would DC do either a deferred prosecution or deferred sentencing such that after 6 months or so, if he keeps his nose clean, the charges get dropped?

 

[GEM]

If he goes to jail, there should be a massive progun demonstration.

FREE GREGORY!

That would be funny.

Joe's got it right. Goes to show if someone is willing to break the law they will have one. It only limits law abiding citizens.

He's famous and rich, nothing will happen to him.

[Stress_Test]

I believe the old phrase for that is "blasted by your own petard"


The NRA should make him a poster boy for why gun control laws don't stop crime.

 

[Steel Horse Rider]

I believe it is "hung on your own petard" but good idea anyway!!!

 

[ldsgeek]

Actually "Hoist with your own petard", meaning blown up with your own mine or bomb. Shakespearean theater for the win. Sorry for getting off topic.
