| David Gregory in the act of flaunting DC's gun laws! |
Washington, DC—The nations’ capitol city has some of the
toughest gun laws in America. The laws
are strict, punitive and the police have a zero tolerance policy for
violators.
On NBC’s, Meet The Press, moderator David Gregory had his
own gunfight with the Executive Vice President of the National Rifle
Association, Wayne LaPierre. Gregory’s shrill voice
battled, advocated and demanded that the NRA back a new ban on what he calls,
“Assault Weapons”.
To demonstrate his position against the Second Amendment’s
evil gun rights Gregory imported a banned 30 round ammunition magazine for an
AR-15 or M-4 carbine into the District of Columbia. Possession of the magazine even without a gun or ammunition is a serious crime there.
The problem is that violation would land any ordinary citizen
a year behind bars along with a lifetime criminal record. There are no special legal exemptions or
permits for well-meaning news media members.
I’m not going to suggest that there was criminal intent here
or that Gregory was trying to do anything more than to try and provide a prop
in order to prove a point. The fact is
that ignorance of the law is no excuse.
It’s very similar to when Americans that are legal owners of
handguns forget that had it in some carry on bag as they place it on a TSA
airport conveyor belt for inspection.
The wrath of zero tolerance has stuck a number of retired cops,
celebrities and even an anti-gun member of the Illinois Senate. Forgetfulness can be a serious felony.
Gregory should not get a free pass on this from his employer
or DC officials. To do so would send a
strong message that laws only apply to some people.
What should happen is the ending of cruel no-tolerance
policies designed to snare, humiliate and victimize law-abiding gun owners.
Heheh, a promise broken! Or has the new year come for you?
ReplyDeleteJust messing with you. Good article and good points.
This was just too rich to slip by without attention...
ReplyDeleteGun control is a failed experiment. The founding fathers had it right: every citizen has the right to bear arms. Lets try that for a while and see how the crime rate goes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a hypocrite!!! He thumbs his nose to armed personal in school BUT the school HIS children attend has them. What a POS he is. Part of the "elite" in Washington that he is. Whats good for him and his is not for the rest of us. I guess he thinks the "gun free zone" signs deter crime, WELL it didn't stop the shooter in Sandy Hook did it? No, it took the armed police approaching to cause him to take his own life before the police took him out.
ReplyDeletePlease chime in on article in RT saying Russian satellites recorded 3 men entering Sandy school and investigators off the record said it appeared the rifle attributed to being used in the killings was never fired and that Adam and his mother appear to have been murdered the day before shootings. Adam was dumped on scene to complete the mission.
ReplyDeleteAfter a felon has completed his parole, his gun rights should be restored. We should embrace the simplicity of our 2A and rescind all 20,000 firearm "laws."

ReplyDeleteIt helps if you double up on the tinfoil. The rays from outerspace can't get through two layers.
Would Mr. Gregory have been relieved if the Newtown killer had been armed with revolvers and a bolt action rifle?
ReplyDeleteThose of us against magazine capacity restrictions just got a potential gift.
ReplyDeleteJam it in his keaster!!
