Let me reiterate (from one of your many ALMOST identicle posts):

Why would conservatives petition for enforcement of an unconstitutional law?

More standard fare of breaking the law to fabricate the news. Remember it was NBC which rigged the gas tanks of GM trucks to explode assure the pictures would comport with their fake news.

Interesting that this story is from CNN and one of their own (Don Lemon) admits to illegally purchasing a gun in Colorado.

David Gregory Violated DC Gun Laws After Being Denied By DC Police?

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.

He’ll get the same harsh punishment Sen.Trotter (D-IL) received for his recent gun violations and that Jon Corzine got for stealing millions from his investors.

“...if we replaced them and said well, you can only have a magazine that carries five bullets or ten bullets, isn’t it just possible that we could reduce the carnage... “

If it takes 10 minutes for the police to arrive, limiting a maniac to 5 round magazines will not make much of a difference. And that is assuming that maniacs will obey the new laws.

IIRC, the USMC Known Distance rifle qualification course required us to fire 10 rounds rapid fire from 200 yards. From a standing position we dropped to sitting, fired 5 rounds, changed magazines and fired another 5 rounds.

We did the same at 300 yards, but it was from standing to Prone, 5 rounds, change magazine, 5 more rounds.

60 second time limit.

Many of us managed 10 rounds in a 12 inch bull on both rapid fires.

Of course, we had the 10 rounds slow fire, Standing position from 200 yards, then slow fire at 300, 5 Kneeling, 5 Sitting. We finished with 10 round Prone slow fire at 500 yards.

All with iron sights.

How did Gregory even obtain a 30 round clip. Who gave or sold him this illegal clip? Was money from the studio involved in the purchase. Think RICO.

David Gregory’s use of a 30 round AR-15 magazine as a prop on Meet the Press to support their national banning was clearly in pre-meditated violation of the law banning their possession in the District of Columbia where his show originated.

Gregory’s act exactly proves what opponents of such restrictions have been saying: such a ban will not stop a person hell-bent on breaking the law. If Gregory is not prosecuted it also proves other commonly held beliefs about liberal government and liberal media.

Advocates of banning magazines above a certain capacity ask who needs them. Putting aside that we tread on dangerous ground when we put any Constitutional right to a test of need (for example, who really needs to trample on the American flag), the burden of proof is that the cost of such a ban will be justified by improving public safety. In an era of trillion dollar federal deficits, this raises a question of best use of finite government resources. If history is any guide, few people who already own any of the estimated 100 million such magazines in private hands can be expected to turn them in. Aren’t we better off allocating our money to improve school safety rather than fund a war on newly-outlawed firearm accessories?

I would remind people that while we are now having a “national conversation” on firearms regulations, we have yet to have a similar conversation about what changes we must make to the treatment of citizens with mental health issues, not to mention how we are going to fund any changes that we decide to make.

If we get down the road a few months on these topics and the loudest voices on the left still give the highest priority to funding the waging of a new war on firearms accessories, above funding improvements in mental health or school safety, we will know who the real ‘gun nuts’ are. And they won’t be the people with NRA bumper stickers.

This clown either believes in enforcing gun laws or he doesn’t. Let’s see which.

(If)you can only have a magazine that carries five bullets or ten bullets, isn’t it just possible that we could reduce the carnage in a situation like Newtown?

If there's not another gun there to stop him, he has enough time to use any size magazine or even a single shot weapon to commit all the carnage he wants.

So, I don't know what is funnier. That he broke the law, or that he had no clue that states already HAD the law he was saying could help, and it didn't help where the law existed.

Or maybe this is the real joke: "isn’t it just possible that we could reduce the carnage in a situation like Newtown?"

So, our solution to a mass murder is to only have half the parents suffer the tragedy of losing their children? Killing 20 kids is bad, but killing 10 would be OK?

Or, as I said in my column for tomorrow -- is our goal just to make it take a little longer to kill people? It is rare that a shooting ends because the killer is confronted while he is still actively shooting. There is no indication that the shooter in Newtown ran out of time. But we know he had two guns he didn't even use, so even if they had been limited to 10 bullets each, that was 20 more people he could have killed at a moment's notice, even without any extra rifle magazines.

Studying the history of mass shootings, the number one way a killer has been stopped (as opposed to running out of victims, or deciding to end the massacre on their own) has been when they use high-capacity magazines and they get jammed. You might say that the less-capable high-capacity magazines actually save lives.

So. Much. Irony. I don’t even know which is more ironic. Is it the fact that Gregory is ignorant that the very law he is arguing for is already in effect in the D.C. area where his show is filmed? Or is it the fact that Gregory may be in trouble by the very same law that he is advocating for?

It doesn’t matter what the law is, nothing will come of it. Gregory will do the two step and the government will dance too and just like all the other lawbreaking done by the Dems , in time it will be forgotten like Algore’s e-mails

I would imagine regular training and drilling would completely nullify any BS law regarding magazine size.
