How do we put pressure on NBC David Gregory for breaking the law?

His defense would be "Just because I have a 30 round mag, doesn't mean I'm going to kill a bunch of people" Well, Duh!! We've been telling you this for 30 years!

Owning hi cap mags doesn't make you a killer.
 
We need to put pressure on the Washington, DC government to repeal unjust laws such as this. Gregory should be the freakin' poster child. (I'm sure he'll love that!)

What on earth was Gregory thinking, taking that tool of death into the studio? It could have killed someone.:rolleyes:
 
Are some of you serious?! You want someone prosecuted for the breaking of the same law so many of us are fighting AGAINST? How does that make us any better?
We should be standing behind the man. I understand the immediate response for "blood" but come on....what if this had been me? Or one of you? You may not agree with the man on everything (I don't) and yes, he broke the law. But why does who he is make our cause any different? Defend the man. We may win over an anchor yet. And if not, what have we lost? Nothing.
 
Collector.... It brings to light how ludicrous the law is. If an anti- gun, mainstream media figure has to fight his way our of it, perhaps the outcry will be for how ridiculous such laws are.
 
If you wish to punish Gregory's ignorant arrogance, convince as many people as possible to send letters of "outrage" to the sponsors of his Sunday show.
Your threat to withhold dollars from those folks (they pay the bills) will show results. Getting "all-froggy" with any other entity will result in zero effect.

hrmm.....now we just need to figure out a way for piers morgan to get his hands on a stamp-less SBR.....
 
Why hasn't he been arrested or fined yet?

He was in possession of an 30 round magazine in a city where they are illegal, on national television.

Why the double standard?

If it were you or I, we would have been thrown in the klink immediately.

TMZ is reporting that the DC police turned them down, so they went to the ATF for permission. I'm not sure how ATF has any jurisdiction over state or local laws. It claims the ATF called DC police and DC police said okay, so DC police made two different claims. Keep in mind this is TMZ, but they've consistently become one of the news sources that breaks stories before even the traditional mainstream media over the last few years.

With the commonly used excuse of "the law is the law" to enact zero-tolerance policies, it's fairly obvious that exceptions only apply if you're famous or in the media.

It's one thing to "accidentally" break the law - NBC willfully and knowingly violated the law AFTER being told by DC police not to do so.

Because he supports the law and thinks it's good. He's being hypocritical and should be punished. He shouldn't be above the "little people". What about those that ban conceal carry and still carry a gun?

that and you have to be anti-gun...

ide be willing to bet that if Wayne LaPierre was the one with the mag, he would have been arrested before he walked off set.
 
I wish Wayne would have said "I need to leave now David, you're breaking the law", and walked off set.

Wow6599..... Exactly. How terrific that would have been.

Will be interesting to see what happens.
 
Nothing will happen. Didn't you see? The ATF "gave him permission". That's good enough for most people. I mean...I'm sure if we called the ATF and got a verbal okay on the phone because we got a nay from local and state police, they'd stand behind usif we were put to the fire.

Right?

Right, guys?
 
Is it possible the magazine was altered to not function or limit capacity to ten and if so would it then be legal to posses in DC? Or is there a grandfather clause under which the magazine may be legal? It seems unlikely the show would travel to another state to get a magazine just for the segment but who knows.

If it was indeed a neutered magazine, then David Gregory is guilty of lying to and misleading his audience. Not as bad as committing a felony on live television, but when your career depends on your reputation as a truth-teller, still pretty bad.

Either way, maybe you should ask David yourself. He's on Twitter.

I wrote about this in my Seattle GunRights Examiner column Wednesday afternoon.

Simply foolish and arrogant. I doubt that the D.C. police will go after him.
 
This was reported on CNN a few minutes ago. Nothing new other than "The DC police are investigating".
 
Every single individual who came in physical contact with what appears to be contraband must (and should be) prosecuted to the full extent of the law, with all disabilities, penalties, and costs fully realized.
 
While I can understand the calls for leniency and that the NRA should step up to help him, I still say throw the book at him. He screwed up and broke the law, and the law is the law. You mess up, you pay the price.

Plus, I think its another win for our side by showing on the national stage how dumb magazine bans are.

thats exactly why the NRA should not help him....

it would be all to easy for the anti-gunners to throw Gregory under the bus and claim the NRA is aiding criminals...

also, by investigating Gregory on this issue, who did nothing wrong other than possess a magazine, it helps in forcing the anti-gunners to agree that these laws are just as ridiculous as we have been telling them they are.
 
I'm surprised that he didn't just use an airsoft AR mag, which looks very similar, especially if he held the feeding end in his palm...
