Crossposted from the other site…hoping this guy is taken to task.
He’s waving an AR-15 30 round magazine around.

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.

Actually…you can carry it out to a conspiracy. Someone or some people conspired to transport, into DC, an illegal firearm part. They transfered posession to another person, who is now part of the conspiracy. Hmmmm…
Op , you may be onto something here. ( Are pre ban mags allowed in dc? ) It proves La Piere’s point on current laws being ignored. Also, how did Gregory get the mag in to the state ? I would imagine he brought it over state lines since you can not buy them in DC.
Goes to my point of conspiracy. Ignorance of the law is not innosence. Good point about preban…but the statute as it is posted here does not mention preban. People worked, in concert to get that magazine to that show to be on air that day.
Do we have any LE members in DC? Can we post and spread this across multiple forums? All we need is a DC officer who’s willing to arrest this idiot - even if charges aren’t pressed, it makes the point. Gun laws so insane even reporters can’t abide by them.
Was E. Holder, or Teddy K.? As they say, " did you ever see a rich man hang" ?
I doubt it. You do know there are two sets of rules/laws, one for the common man and one for the wealthy elite.
The Chappaquiddick incident took place on July 18, 1969 and refers to the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, a female passenger of U.S. Senator Edward M. “Ted” Kennedy when he accidentally drove his car off a bridge and into a tidal channel on Chappaquiddick Island, Massachusetts. Kennedy swam free and left the scene, not reporting within nine hours, but Kopechne died in the vehicle. In the early hours of July 19, Kopechne’s body and the car were recovered. Kennedy pleaded guilty to a charge of leaving the scene of an accident after causing injury and received a two-month suspended jail sentence. The incident became a national scandal, and may have influenced Kennedy’s decision not to campaign for President of the United States in 1972 and 1976.
