Judge orders release of David Gregory affidavit after gun display
Yahoo! News ^ | 12/30/14 | Dylan Stableford

A federal judge has ordered the District of Columbia to release the affidavit stemming from the Metropolitan Police Department's investigation of David Gregory after the "Meet the Press" host displayed a high-capacity ammunition magazine on the air while taping the program in NBC's Washington, D.C., studio in 2012.

William Jacobson, a conservative blogger, filed a Freedom of Information Act suit last year seeking the records after Gregory was not prosecuted despite warnings from D.C. police to producers that the display would be a clear violation of D.C.'s gun laws.

The law doesn’t apply to Gregory.

He’s an important liberal.

Now shut your bigoted face and go pay your taxes. Your government is broke.

Remember gun control s***head Dwayne Ferguson?
He was arrested for carrying his own gun into an elementary school.
He pled guilty and was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and told to behave.

His service: lecturing kids on the evils of guns?

Gregory, one of the leading leftie Jew”-ish” media elite. By that meaning a non-practicing cultural jew (with none of the scriptural or orthodox requirements guiding him) card carrying non-jew with guidance by the modern Comintern in regards to the 2nd Amendment and the requirement it be destroyed, so they can control us all in “safety” Ben Franklin, where are you, brother?

Messrs David ‘Howdy Doody’ Gregory and Dwayne “Do as I say, not as I do” Ferguson illustrate for us,
that when we Americans see the words “gun control,” the operative word for the Left is “control”.
Same goes for the Gabbys, Feinsteins—the list goes on-and-on:
‘For me, but not thee villain’.

“While the display “meets the definition” of the criminal statute, Nathan wrote in a letter to the network’s lawyers, Gregory’s prosecution “would not promote public safety in the District of Columbia nor serve the best interests of the people of the District to whom this office owes its trust.”

Seems the AG provided the defense with their defense.

Why is it that David Gregory can get away with waving a 30rd magazine which is totally illegal in D.C. and a veteran who was arrested and jailed over an unregistered shotgun shell that was rolling around in his trunk ...D.C. too .....ps, he didn’t have the shotgun with him.

A 30 round magazine?
Oh the horrors!

I have dozens of those. I have several laying around my reloading bench. I have some in the gun cabinet. I think there are a few laying around my camper and in my truck.
I could probably pull one out of the couch cushion, if I dug deep enough.
And they want to prosecute? For holding one in DC?

DEFENSE:
“Gregory was not prosecuted despite warnings from D.C. police to producers that the display would be a clear violation of D.C.’s gun laws
because he thought his was a cameo in a movie they were making.”

If he thought they were making a movie in D.C.
, then it`s legal.

Gregory is a legume in his own mind.

Gregory said. "Now isn't it possible that, if we got rid of these, if we replaced them and said, 'Well, you could only have a magazine that carries five bullets or 10 bullets,' isn't it just possible that we can reduce the carnage in a situation like Newtown?"

No, in fact it could make matters worse.

A magazine size limit does not hinder a mass killer -- only the person who has to defend themselves against that killer.

Someone who's intent on committing mass murder has all the time they need to acquire as many ammunition magazines, which can be switched out in a fraction of a second, as they want beforehand.

The person who has to defend themselves against such an attack does not, because the threat is immediate. If they have a gun handy, at best all they will have with it is a single magazine. If that magazine has only five rounds, that's all the defender has, while still having to face a killer who has as much ammunition as they want.

30 round. That’s old school.

Magpul has new 40 rounders.
