Perfect authoritarian. They hate the press because they tell facts they don't want spread. In this case, they want a reporter put in jail for showing things their tribe doesn't like. The revere the Constitution don't they?

Nah, I'd like to see him put in jail for openly breaking the law.
It's not fact at all. Let's say Gregory's producer swears up and down to NBC that it was a prop, and NBC then makes a public statement to that effect. Wouldn't NBC's public image be harmed if it turned out the producer was lying and a subsequent investigation showed it to be real and to be a criminal act, and NBC then had to admit it made a false public statement?
Every lawyer at NBC is telling the company not to comment on this until the investigation is complete. That's standard operating procedure for any corporation, and it doesn't speak one iota as to what the facts are in this incident.
May not matter if it was a prop...
Look at the law
Quote:
No person in the District shall possess, sell, or transfer any large capacity ammunition feeding device regardless of whether the device is attached to a firearm. A “large capacity ammunition feeding device” means a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition. This does not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition.
I've bolded the active section regarding it being a prop. If that magazine is a prop, has external dimensions that allow it to fit into a STANAG mag well, internal dimensions that would allow it to accept 223 Remington rounds and hold more than 10 rounds, it's the same offense. Since it can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
This might explain some of the reticence of NBC to comment, if it was a Magazine, it's pretty clear that there is a high potential for criminal charges they're not going to discuss that until the police are finished, however if it were a prop it doesn't mean that there are no charges likely, it may very well be that there is the same potential, and NBC's lawyers are investigating what the bolded section really means.
