"But I don’t think Gregory was planning to commit any crimes," argues Kurtz.

Really? Neither are any Law Abiding Gun Owners putz! But that doesn't matter to libiots.

So then by his logic, too prove a point, I should be able to conceal carry in D.C. and not be investigated. Yes I broke the law but I wasn't planning to commit any crimes. Yeah that will fly. :down: :down:

Gregory was supposedly informed by the DC police that having the magazine would be illegal.  Not only did he intend to commit a crime, he did commit a crime.

Part of me wants to see nothing happen to him just to prove a point, the other half though wants to see the full force of the law come down on him. Hmm... Choices, choices.

What a putz

[DaveTN]

Apparently DC Police are investigating the incident. Will it help us for David Gregory to be arrested and charged? Absolutely not. I hope the Police use their discretion and decide not to pursue this; that would be my choice if I were the investigating Officer.

I hope that he is prosecuted to show the libtards that they don't know anything about the guns they want to ban.  Make an example out of one of them and maybe, just maybe, others will start to fact check once in a while.

Not that I support this idiot, but hard to see charging him. Kinda like that elderly lady whose deceased husband had the FA war trophy. Yeah, she technically violated a crime punishable by 10 years in prison, but what was the intent?

I agree. I would rather just hit him upside the head with my 1911... just because he really needs it.

CNN just deserves a good polymer lashing, like a Glock... with the exception of Robin Meade. She can carry on.... drool.

I generally agree, but I think it would be a funny twist of events if NBC's lawyers end up funding a serious challenge to the DC AWB on grounds the law violates the constitution ;)

 

Just saying, it would be a bit ironic if the anti-gun nuts make the case for us ;)

[mikegideon]

I'm pretty sure the anti-gun nuts will remain useless wastes of oxygen.

She had no intent to own a FA rifle. She had no clue what it was.

Gregory was told he would be in violation of the law and not to bring a high cap mag inside DC. He had his warning and he did it anyway. Business as usual, if it had been any one of us we'd be labled a nutcase and be sitting in jail right now. Edited December 28, 2012 by BrasilNuts

I say throw the book at him. He helped make that bed, now he can lie in it.

Do you know that to be true?

Other sources say the DC Police told NBC no, and the BATF told them it was okay. They should have gone by what the DC Police told them, but I could understand the confusion if a Federal BATF agent said something else. I would guess David Gregory talked to none of these people and did whatever the producers told him.

Sorry, but I don’t want to see someone arrested on weapons charges just because their views are different than mine.

I'm curious to see David Gregory's response to all this.... has he made one yet?

He's not talking right now. Somebody smacked him with a 1911. :)

For me it has nothing to do with his views.

It is about the two sets of rules that we have.

So if a Tennessee cop decides to let you go on a weapons violation, that’s okay, but because he’s on TV he should be charged?

TN cops do not influence national views.

Do you have knowledge that I have ever been "let go" on a weapons violation?

Because he's on TV he shouldn't be charged?

[Guest FIST]

I was under the impression that "Ignorance" isn't a defense to the law.

[Mike.357]

If LaPierre had held up that mag to make some pro gun point and was arrested most everyone here, myself included would be going ballistic.

 

Just because it was done to make an opposing point  does not make it any worse.

 

the law is ridiculous no matter who breaks it.

[Mark@Sea]

  Yes, the law is asinine.  Criminal intent has nothing to do with it.

 

  I personally want to see him jailed and fined because he's lawing at me, I should be able to law back.  This whole "the laws aren't meant to be applied to those on the right side of the issue" thing is troubling too.

 

  Hey, Howard, the peasants are getting restless, what?  Best lean a little harder on on the gun control siren. 

[Steelharp]

Too bad his first name wasn't Dick.

 

Then, in listings, he'd be Kurtz, Dick.

 

Short dick.
