Washington D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier has confirmed that the department is looking into allegations that NBC's David Gregory violated D.C.'s gun banning laws during a recent taping of Meet the Press.

In a discussion about gun control, host David Gregory brandished a 30-round magazine purportedly for an AR-15 or similar "assault rifle." The discussion took place on December 23, during the broadcast of NBC's Sunday morning political talk show.

Washington D.C.’s gun laws, however, state that even possessing such a device is a violation. Meet the Press is filmed at NBC's D.C. studios.

The law in question is titled: DC High Capacity Ammunition Magazines – D.C. Official Code 7-2506.01, and reads (my bold):

Yes, he is a scumbag, but no he should not be charged with a crime for having a 30 round magazine. He should be able to carry any kind of firearm or related accessory anywhere on any part of US soil. He has a basic human right to self-defense the same as any of us should.

If he does get charged, I hope a libertarian-minded individual gets on the jury and acquits him by process of jury nullification so we can start getting rid of these unjust laws and restore some freedom to defend oneself in Washington, D.C. As much crime as they have there, 30 round magazines should be sold at convenience stores there.

RED: I wish I could tell you that David Gregory fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that, but prison is no fairy-tale world.
