NBC News and David Gregory: A legal problem or a journalism problem?
Washington Post ^ | 12/26/12 | Erik Wemple

NBC News has a problem. The question is whether it is a legal one or a journalistic one.

-snip-

The legal problem here is nearly self-confessed. D.C. code plainly prohibits magazines with capacities exceeding 10 rounds of ammunition. Of this regulation, “Meet the Press” cannot possibly claim ignorance or oversight.

DC’s gun laws may be silly...

Perhaps that is the whole point of this discussion.

When you have a major news organization controlled by the government, it’s a corruption problem.

Come'on, you're giving Michigan a bad name. You really don't get this?

For the record, I am totally pro 2A, but an empty mag used as a prop is hardly worthy of discussion. I’d feel the same if the mag was loaded, as long as the firearm wasn’t in the room. DC’s gun laws may be silly, but getting upset over this is even worse. Yes I hate all the gun-grabbers crawling out of the woodwork, but this story is a joke.

David Gregory is pushing for more gun laws. How about enforcing the gun laws on the books first? David Gregory wants to put Americans in jail for violating gun laws, when he himself is violating the gun law.

Get it?

And David Gregory knowingly violated the law. Of course it's a stupid law, but Gregory wants more of the stupidity that's destroying people's lives. You first, Mr. Gregory. Trying to make something out of nothing is a libtard tactic, and one’s reduces credibility.

“Trying to make something out of nothing is a libtard tactic, and one’s reduces credibility”

I disagree. I think we need to do more of this. We should put 500 people on his front lawn asking for his immediate resignation and holding up signs on why rich liberal white guys get away with this kind of stuff.

I would alinsky him to the max.

There are no "laws" made by the pretend "government" of the District of Columbia that any US citizen is bound to respect.

This particular "law" was not made by Congress, which has the power, and the responsibility, to legislate for DC "in all cases whatsoever".

I don’t subscribe to the ‘na na na na na na, they do it too’ game.

That is how you CHANGE bad laws.

About 3 weeks of “Shawshank Redemption” for gregory, he'll get the idea about bug-eyed and big mouth and maybe establish some credibility!...
